Well now, I like the colors of the David Peterson design with "more correct" heraldic colors (Variation 3)-- but shouldn't the sun always be yellow (gold, "or")? How about making it a _real_ sun, with rays (spreading over and enlightening the whole world) -- cf. the Uruguayan flag-- http://www.geographic.org/flags/new1/uruguay_flags.html (or the Argentine, at the same website, but Uruguay's sun looks a bit nicer IMO) replacing the little face with our correct (not stylized) hieroglyph? BTW, is the hieroglyph the formal (carved/painted) version, or a script/demotic one? If the latter, I'd then probably prefer the formal version. I also like the idea behind your minimalist design, but perhaps the bicolor oval could be replaced with the sun+hieroglyph; in this case, any two colors would be OK with me, yea, even the purple and black. Purple+black+gold-- in fact quite regal IMO.
