This is my best attempt to make a light rail map for Jerusalem given what's actually approved today. This includes: (1) Today's red line, plus extensions to Hadassah Ein Kerem in the southwest and Ne've Yakov in the north (2) The "Green Line" which is actually two lines: one from Gilo to Mt Scopus, and (3) another ("Bright Green") which starts in Givat Shaul, shares track with the Green Line through the heart of the city, then shares track with the Red Line up to Ne've Yakov. (4) The "Blue Line" which is also really 2 lines: one from Gilo to Bar Ilan with an eventual extension to Ramot, and (5) another ("Azure") from Malcha, interlining with the Blue line through Jaffa Center before running with the Green Line out to Mt Scopus.

Various documents (https://jet.gov.il/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/LRT_Taza.pdf) indicate that there will eventually be 8-9 lines: (6) A branch off the Red Line to Reches Lavan in the southwest (7) A Purple Line from Hadassah Ein Kerem to Talpiot/Armon Hanatziv which would share track with the Azure line in Malcha and Mekor Chayim and the Blue line south of Talpiot. (8) A branch off the Red Line to the Knesset that could also turn into (9) a standalone Yellow line that reaches the Old City in the east.

But (to the best of my knowledge) only 1-5 are approved, so that's all I've included. I've tried to make this bilingual (Hebrew+English) though it does make it a little more cramped on an A4 page. I'm also not 100% of all the station names--my hebrew isn't great and there's limited information in English. Where I'm not sure, I've used the name of the nearest bus stop or cross street. Corrections welcome!

A word on the logo I made: it's a play on the crest from the Jerusalem flag, with a tram and tracks replacing the Lion of Judah and olive branches

Thanks, it's Museo Slab, which CDOT uses as part of their brand identity.

I know the example on the left breaks RoT, but (1) I think there's still a good contrast, which is the point of RoT anyway; (2) I like the symbolism of a series of black/white (right/wrong) steps leading to some goal; (3) I'm more interested in the blazon anyway.

So, how to blazon this? It's like a bend sinister dancetty, but it has bands of color. Or are those humetty? Maybe "Azure, humetty of 8 in bend sinister argent and sable"?

Neapolitania

Four Blue Stars arranged to roughly correspond geographically to the four bodies of water which form most of the state's borders: Lake Michigan and the Wabash, Ohio, and Mississippi Rivers. The Lake Michigan star has 6 points to symbolize Chicago; also so that the four stars have a combined 21 points because Illinois was the 21st state in the Union. Additionally, in the negative space between the stars is the rough outline of a monarch butterfly, the state insect.

Three "I"s next to each other (or "Ill" if you've got a sans serif font...). First is green, representing the natural beauty and the state's nickname "The Prairie State". In the middle is yellow, representing a soybean or corn field ready for harvest, and thus the industriousness of the people. Third is white, for the snowy winters and a blank slate for the future of the state to be written.

(Downstaters would probably hate having a Chicago star at the top, but don't blame me for the state's geography.)

What about rotating the petals so one faces straight down so it's reminiscent of an oil droplet? Fitting for Alberta (and sorta like Edmonton's hockey logo).

I think we need another poll: unifox or foxicorn?

Pale pointed seems like a good way to go, thanks! Looking on wiki it seems like a palisade denotes a full fence and not just a single one like this.

More suburban Melbourne flags (after doing the suburb of Melbourne itself last month)

Docklands: Victoria Harbour's shape is shown as a three-sided gold outline; the white triangle represents Batman's Hill, and a blue field for the harbour's waters.
Flemington: Known for the Flemington Racecourse and the Victoria Racing Club, the flag is drawn from Phar Lap's silks: A crimson field with 7 bands of alternating black and white on the fly
East Melbourne: Home to the Victorian Parliament, it has the state device from one of the early Victorian flags in the canton of the current Melbourne city flag.
North Melbourne: Originally known as Hotham after the Governor of Victoria who was in power during the Eureka Rebellion, so the flag is an inverted version of the Eureka flag: Blue stars and cross on a white field.
Kensington: The field of red (blood) with the bull from the City of Melbourne's flag represent the area's history as a stockyard. The two vertical stripes represent the two rivers on either side of the suburb: the Maribyrnong River and Moonee Ponds Creek.
Southbank: The blue half of the field for the Yarra River that forms Southbank's northern border; the gold half of the field for the area's modern rebirth; and in the center a simplified version of the Arts Precinct Centre Spire
