This was supposed to go directly to the list, and *not* just to Adrian:

Wow, that's cool! And your explanation makes it even better.
Even though it's a rough sketch, one can get the idea, and I
think it's great!
I do think *something* should go in the center, though... Any vexillologists
on the list? Ooh! A schwa! Hee, hee... In the Society for Linguistics
Undergraduates at Berkeley (SLUG), I made us a mascot that featured
a laid back looking slug with a cape on, and the clasp of the cape was
a large, gold chain that ended in a big schwa right in the middle of his
chest.
But yeah, something in the middle... Something circular, symmetrical...
Well, unless someone came up with a crest/coat of arms. Then that
would have to go in the center. What do stars symbolize on flags? We
could have a big four pointed star in the midle. Provided it symbolized
something appropriate.
