Clean It Up

I am wanting to have a new image for the business, more inkeeping with our national works.
I have two vans (soon to be three) and three trailers - all require sign writing and I am looking to incorporate the union jack as part of the livery.
Been looking around the free clip art sites this morning and have seen a Union Jack in the shape of the UK and also a without edge rippled flag (no border).
Is there anyone on the forum that knows whether either of the styles can be gotten for free or will I have to pay for the image.
If a decent image can be downloaded for nothing, where from. Not really something I am very good at.
Has anyone got any design capabilities that would like to design a new van signage, any help at all would be great.

don't you think by using that image you will look a lot like the guys from dragons den?
-
Not really
I saw one of their vans on the A1(M) yesterday and to be honest they look really busy, with too much detail.
I just want to keep it clean simple and straightforward - uncluttered!!
I have an idea of what I want but wouldn't know how to overlay the font that I want to use over the flag or UK image or whether I can get the images without paying.

be careful when using the union jack for your company livery sometimes it can give the wrong impression ;)

u after something like this

No because that is exactly what the Dragons Den team have. I want to utilise my own letterhead (part of it) either overlaid over a flag or a union Jack image of Great Britain or a configuration of either or.

it can look great when done right but i would not use it because the mixed race community might look at it the wrong way bnp ect
im not saying that about you or you company so dont take it the wrong way but it is somthing to consider

I don't care what any community thinks, mixed, black,white or any other combination my business name is my last name hyphenated and with the Uk added because I work all over the country.
No one is going to look at my van and get the idea that I am a Zeig Heiling jew beater!!
