The fronts of the notes will be developed on the basis of the proposal from The Metric System and Terje T\u00f8nnessen. The backs of the notes will be the pixel motifs submitted by Sn\u00f8hetta Design. Please note that the designs of the finished notes may deviate somewhat from the competition proposals as shown below.<\/p>\n<p>On each obverse side, the designer has placed a signal flag from the maritime alphabet. The flags represent the letters N, O, R, G and E and therefore spell either NORGE or NOREG (not in order by denomination).<\/p>\n<p>The cubic patterns on the reverse side represent pixels and mosaics. The patterns depict the coast, the horizon and the motif. The organic pattern is an abstraction of the sea. Both the cubic and organic patterns follow the Beaufort scale as an expression of wind speed. This affects the waves in the sea. On the lowest denomination note, the wind is light, and there are short cubic forms and long, gentle waves in the organic pattern. On the highest denomination note, the wind is strong and creates elongated rectangular forms and short waves.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><br \/>Motif: Utv\u00e6r Lighthouse in Sogn og Fjordane, Norway&#8217;s westernmost point. Signal flag: Letter R.<\/p>\n<p>Pixel motif on the horizon: Lighthouse on the horizon. Cubic pattern: 1.6 metres per second (m\/s). Organic pattern: Light breeze, gentle waves.<\/p>\n<p>Motif: The Gokstad ship from the 800s, with the Norwegian-designed X-Bow hull developed by Ulstein Design &amp; Solutions AS in the background. Signal flag: Letter O.<\/p>\n<p>Pixel motif on the horizon: Cargo ship. Cubic pattern: 3.4 m\/s. Organic pattern: Gentle breeze. Crests begin to break.<\/p>\n<p>Motif: Cod and herring.
