African Union

This is the flag I created for the African Union, a country formed after World War IV from Marissa Meyer's book series, the Lunar Chronicles.

I tried to stay true to the African flag by incorporating green, yellow, and black into the design- colors that are commonly featured in African flags. The center of the flag is a sun, symbolic of a new day and new beginnings. It also is a great representation of the climate of this country. I used a black background behind the sun to represent the dawning sun after a tumultuous past.

Below the sun is a strip of African tribal symbols. I used these to represent remaining tribes in Africa following the war and the need to remember the past struggles which shape a new country.
