Design revision for a new Australian flag.
This proposition takes on findings or recent design tests based on a full polychrome palette (max 6); dividing 4 divisions of field with gold horizon diamond (fimbriation); Uluru arc for abstract Earth + Sky references to the 'Great Southern Land' of (terra australis); a dynamic Southern Cross device integrating a Commonwealth Star "as an Epsilon" – intentionally bending rules of tincture (white on gold) to intensify the axial centre focus – with horizontal and vertical symmetry; innovative use of Green + Gold (National Colours) upper feature, heliotrope (warm) Blue + Ochre Orange, to hang in tandem beside ATSI flags, while symbolising inclusivity, cultural diversity and an aspirational neutrality.
NOTE: The "visual" merging of the 7 point Federation Star with the 4 point gold axis references acknowledgment of the Eureka Flag 8 point star motif as a early flag devised by late colonial Australian workers.
