I'm afraid neither of those strike a chord. And unfortunately a witch's hat is too generic - people think of Halloween when they see them. In the same way pumpkins were originally Irish but nobody thinks of Ireland when they see a pumpkin.

What we need is for someone to write a fantastic novel about the Monster of Wales - and then have it turned into a movie franchise like Godzilla. Everyone knows about Godzilla and Tokyo. So we need a monster book written!

Yeah, love the Witches hat - it's used in the women's Welsh celebration costume for St.David's day too, forget the other name of it...

Yeah, I love Dylan Thomas smile

Actually, the first thing I think of is New York when Godzilla comes up, those really old movies where King Kong is fighting him LOL.

I don't think monster stories go down well anymore. They're very old fashioned when it comes to horror, unless the character is already well known such as King Kong - and I didn't like the re-make of that, I thought it was dull, and everyone knows the ending anyway (and I havn't even seen the original)

I think there are so many thing's which set Wales apart, but if we're going for fame. Then, Diana:Princess of Wales did that, and the movie 'The Queen' is entirely based on her really.

The thing is people generally don't think about places when they think about people - they just think about the person. So for example Sean Connery is from Scotland but I doubt someone thinks of Scotland and says "hey that is where Sean Connery was born!" Where someone was born doesn't seem to be that memorable in modern times where people move all around. Things that are permanent like giant mountains or fascinating buildings or killer monsters seem to be much more location-specific.

When I think of Diana I don't think of Wales. I think of Charles and them as humans smile

It can be a friendly monster, not a scary one! But would everyone know Transylvania if it wasn't for Dracula?

Champagne is world famous because of one drink. Otherwise it'd be an unknown little region of France. So we need a Welsh drink too smile
