Very nice.  Except for the stuck-out tongue... Replace that with the
hieroglyph and it would be a winner, IMO.  I'm not wild about the look of
the purple and black-- calls to mind a bruise--  but they're OK I guess.

The Indonesians call their flag "Sang Merah Putih" = (Honorable) Red White.
The official (Alma Mater, not Fight) song of the Univ. of Michigan ends with
a reference to the school colors:  Hurrah for the yellow and blue.  So I
guess we could in time wax rhapsodic about "the purple and the black".
