Phobos Flag, the Larger Moon of Mars

Flag of Phobos

The flag of Phobos was first presented to the public and vexillologists at the 24th international Congress of Vexillology at the Washington Masonic Memorial in 2011.

The flag is composed four colours: black, blue, white and most appropriately red, in honor of the red planet.

This flag was intended to represent fear. It is composed of three main parts. Along the top is a blue stripe with the Western symbol for Mars. In the red portion is the number seven represented in Egyptian Numbers that represent the mythological seven fears of Phobos. In the black portion is a white skull with sharpened teeth like those of carnivore. The eyes of the are also glowing red. Upon the forehead of the skull is a hole with a crescent moon.

Currently Phobos is considered a moon by astronomers, but if it were in orbit around the sun is would be classified as an asteroid. Perhaps there needs to be a 'Dwarf Moon' designation to match up with 'Dwarf Planet' terms?

Pacific Ocean Flag

Flag of the Pacific Ocean

This flag was first presented to vexillology at 24th International Congress of Vexillology. It was held at Alexandria, Virginia at the Masonic Memorial from August 1 unto August 5th, 2011.

The flag represents the Pacific Ocean. The white disc, stars and stripes are primarily a representation of icons from Japan and the United States due to their epic and hard fought struggle in the Pacific Ocean in the 1940s.

Additionally the varied shapes and colours can be found on many nations wholly within the Pacific - Palau, Micronesia, New Zealand, Tuvalu, and many others. This flag also represents nations that border the Pacific from Eastern Asia to South America.

The first meaning of the symbols are this - the white disc represents the full moon, the three white stars represent the three great coastlines of the Pacific - Asia, America, and Australia. The three indigo dashes represent three memorable lines of latitude - the Tropic of Cancer, the Tropic of Capricorn, and the most famous of all, the Equator. Dark blue represents the vastness and one of the many blue colours of the Pacific Ocean. The lime green border represents the life and abundance that the Ocean Provides for all.

It is the right of any nation that has a Pacific Coast line to fly this flag such as Canada, Chile, Australia, Vietnam, and Russia.

This flag also represents persons born on the Pacific Ocean (assuming on a boat), persons conceived on the Pacific, and persons whose mother swam in the Pacific while she was pregnant.

New Zealand Flag Proposal 2011

New New Zealand Flag Proposal 2011

There have been many calls for a new flag for New Zealand. The flag issue is remarkably parallel to the Australian Flag crisis. There are many proposals that try to incorporate designs by the aboriginal Maroi and native Australians. And both nations have the same euro-centric heritage from the United Kingdom.

So who will be first to break with tradition? Certainly in whatever design Kiwis or Aussies choose the Southern Cross and the colour black will be included.

Popular Maori Flag

My flag proposal for New Zealand was first presented to vexillologists around the world at the 2011 International Congress of Vexillology, held at the Geroge Washington Masonic Memorial. The colours of the flag are blue, red, black and white. Black represents the native polynesian peoples that arrived before Europeans. The red and white stars of the current New Zealand flag are conserved. The red cross is an echo of the UK flag, bearing a symmetric resemblance to the St. Patrick's Cross. This symbolizes the world wide awakening of New Zealand to the community of nations as established by the British. The cross also represents the anitpode islands latitude and longitude.

Current New Zealand Flag

Although a conservative flag compared to most New Zealand flag proposals it incorporates all the colours of the popular Maroi flag and maintains a certain line of tradition. Only if they change the name of the country, a more radical design would be appropriate.

Flag for People Born in the Sky - The Heaven or Sky Flag

Flag of Persons Born, Conceived
or in the womb in the sky

Since 1903 the population of 'Earthlings' born in the air has increased. Usually pregnant women shouldn't fly. But every so often a baby comes early and kazaam, we have a person who was literally born in heaven. Thus there is a need for a flag of people born in this peculiar and amazing way.

The flag is dedicated to all persons born or conceived in the air, and if your mother flew in the air while she was pregnant.

It is a divided banner with an upwards bend. The dividing line is an array of clouds. The upper-hoist half is sky blue in honor of the sky and golden sun, while the lower-fly half is black with a crescent moon. The three stars are reflective of the constellation Orion.


The divided sky also has a second level of meaning: the sun represents people birthed in the air, while the night sky and moon represent people conceived in the air, and the clouds represent people who were in the mother's womb while in the air. And yes based upon this formula, I am one of these exceptional air headed persons who can legally wave the flag of the our sky nation. And no.... I am not the last Air-bender, only the creator of the Air Nation Colours.

New Australian Flag Proposal, 2011

A Proposed New Flag for Australia

There are hundreds of new Australian Flag proposals every year, well here is my 2 cents or rather 2 pence on the matter.

It tries to conserve some of the classical elements. The red cross of England, the star pattern of the official flag, and elements of the Scottish triangles from the Union Flag.

The English Red Cross is conserved because English is the dominant language of Australia. The Southern Cross constellation is a must, and will certainly be apart of whichever new flag Australians decide upon. The St. Patrick's Cross of Ireland is taken out for reasons of clutter, also most Irish People don't associate with this icon anyways. The colour black is added out of respect for the Aboriginals. The white stripe from the upper left to lower right, a downward-down under bend, represents the geographic reach from the capital cities of London and Canberra across the earth.

The Current Aussie Flag

It is a flag that takes traditional elements and harmonizes them with a modern blend. This flag was first presented to vexillologists around the world at the 24th International Congress of Vexillology that was held at the George Washington Masonic Memorial in Alexandria Virginia.

The design is exactly as the 2011 proposal but black and blue are reversed. Thus the 2012 version conserves the Southern Cross on blue. The colouring patters of black blue is a counter charge boomerang design.

Flag Proposal for Independent French Guiana

Proposed Flag of an Independent
French Guiana

Along the north shore of South America is a virtual linguistic and cultural world showcase-boardwalk of the EU. In a neatly lined row found nowhere else in the world, going west to east, five 'nations' are tuned to Spanish, English, Dutch, French, and Portuguese respectively via Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and Brazil.

All the continental territories of America have asserted independence except for one - French Guiana, the Omega. Guiana is the last echo of European colonies left on the Continent of the America.Independence will come some day, definitely in our lifetime.



Artistic Rendition of Canis Minor
It's north of the celestial equator like
French Guiana with earth's equator, just a little north of the Cosmic Unicorn

Here is a proposal for a flag, when this French Territory asserts its independence. The colours are red, yellow, white and black. These colours represent the varied hues of humanity that call American Guiana home. There are two stars reflective of the constellation Canis Minor. Canis Minor is at the same celestial latitude of American Guiana's earthly latitude. Canis Minor is a small yet significant constellation, it sit along the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy and has the 7th or 8th brightest star in the heavens - Procyon. The capital city, Cayanne, is aligned with this star during the month of January-February at 5 degrees north latitude.

This flag was first proposed to vexillologists around the world at the 24th International Congress of Vexillology held at Alexandria, Virginia at the George Washington Masonic Memorial.

French Guiana is also a world famous spaceport, primarily used by the EU.

The Simpsons - The Bartmangled Banner

Bart Mooning the American Flag

The Simpsons 15th season's 21st episode is appropriately called the Bartmangled Banner. In it an odd series of events puts Bart in an unpatriotic pose in public at a school. This parody from one of America's most watched and longest running imaginary families, on the Fox Network, takes the issue of freedom of speech to new levels of comical absurdity.

This episode aired in 2004 a year after the invasion of Iraq and patriotic sentiments were running high in the country. Most nations of the world would have censored this episode, especially if it were at war. But Bart is the epitome brat of the American childhood.

Perhaps Bart was simply confused with the America's role in exploring the moon, and the astronauts planting the US Flag on the moon?
