New Empire/Imperial Insignia for Star Wars the Force Awakens



A super sized vexilloid makes an appearance in Star Wars: The Force Awakens 2015.  In this case it seems to be a sixteen pointed Star of Vega like icon surrounded by a hexagon.  The rays from the sun or star burst have solid square ends making it look like a flower or galactic dandelion of sorts.
This pattern is similar to the Japanese Imperial Sunburst and Macedonian Star, both icons have 16 rayed stars.
May the 4th be wit-you

The Galapagos Geographic Span Flag


The Galapagos Geographic Span flag has colours and patterns the indicate the rage of longitudes and latitudes that these islands can be found at.  Since we have a blue canton it denotes it is in the Western Hemisphere.  Since the Galapagos spans both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, its flag has upward and downward pointing stars.  The upward pink and orange stars indicate that the most western longitude of the Galapagos is at 92 Degrees West, while the downward black and pink stars indicate that the most eastern land area of the Galapagos is at 89 Degrees West.  The smaller stripes always indicate the northern most reach of the Galapagos at 01 Degrees North, while the larger stripes always indicate the most southern reach of the these islands at 01 Degrees South.  Again since the Geographic span of the Galapagos crosses the equator it has stars pointed up and down.


Galapagos Grid Longitude Latitude Flags



The Galapagos Islands lie at a providential latitude and longitude.  Right on the equator and upon the Middle Mirror Meridian at 90 Degrees.


Grid Flag for Puerto Villamil: 12 Degrees North 90 Degrees West













Grid Flag for Puerto Baquerizo Mereno: 00 Degrees South, 89 Degrees West







Flag for Triple Region of Senegal, Mali, and Guinea



This Grid Longitude-Latitude flag represents the area grid of 12 Degrees North and 11 Degrees West.  By amazing coincidence it looks similar to the flag of Chile, but it contains two triple points of geographic significance.  On this area Senegal, Mali, and Guinea meet at three nations.  And the Fuata Djallon region lies on this grid which is were the Gambia River, Niger River, and Senegal Rivers begin.

UCLA Pennant in Small Wonder the 1980s television show

Imagine having a robotic sister?  Well some people really did in the 1980s.   In the television show Small Wonder "Vicky" came to life on television screens and the family drama was acted out in total cheese puff eighties style.

Tiffany Brissette stars as a robot sister with amazing abilities.  If Data from Star Trek the Next Generation is the it bot boy of the 1980s then V.I.C.I. is the it bot girl of the 1980s.  And just for the record, Vicky is older than Data.







Flags and Vexilloids in Debbie Gibson's - Out of the Blue 1987

 
Out of the Blue is an album that is totally insulated from the 1970s and far enough from the 1990s.  It is a classic epitome 1980s culture in a time box. 

Sometimes things come at you from Out of the Blue, which is like a random old friend or a realization that your perception of some one can change on in a split second from stale friendship to admiration or deep love.  In this song Debbie Gibson points this feeling out to her fellow generational cohorts in honest 80s pop cadence.

Debbie notices these feeling while reminiscing through a photo album.  Other vexilloids like times are the classic fringed birthday banners and streamers hanging from the ceiling.
