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.
