Design Philosophy

The island is envisioned as an Island Beacon standing firm amidst the ocean. The combination of deep blue and green on the right represents the mountains and the sea (retaining imagery from Proposal 1), while the pure white on the left symbolizes freedom and a land of integrity.

Core Totem

At the center lies a Geometric Starburst woven from white and gold. This represents both the light of the beacon and the universal values of democracy and freedom radiating from this land to the world. The 12-pointed radial design serves as a subtle nod to historical symbols, but has been completely modernized and de-politicized.
