*Any* color other than purple would be good.   I really liked red,
but I can understand it's viewed as too confrontational.

You know, orange is a creative color--and one of my favorites!

I know green is probably to be avoided, but I think blue would
be good.   I guess it's not much of a creative color, though...

Whatever the color is (and this applies to purple, too), I think it
should be lighter as opposed to darker, because combined with
the black, a flag with a dark color would just look to dingy...   So
for the purple, I'd say row 2, column 2.

Now for some technical points. I like the design, but I'm a bit
wary of the white touching the yellow.   Could the yellow vertical
line at the top be removed?   Also, would it look very bad if the
vowel space was changed from yellow to white?   And I *wonder*
(not enough to suggest; just wondering) what it would look like
if the tongues weren't outlined in yellow...

Okay, those are my suggestions for the day.   May our efforts be
enough to win the approval of Ray Brown the Fastidious.   ;)   (Joking!)
