NEW UNION FLAG// Northern Hemisphere Constellations

Another idea which I have borrowed from a number of flags designed for the southern hemisphere is to include a star constellation. There are many flags from Oceania and A few from South America which use this as a visual representation of international status and modernity. These flags use the southern cross or 'Crux' which appears most recognisably on the Australian Flag:

The five stars on the right display the Crux, the star which appears under the Union Flag is the commonwealth star, denoting Australia's links to the commonwealth of nations.

Obviously I cant use the southern flag for a country which is located in the northern hemisphere. Here the most suitable constellation, with a reasonable number of stars and which also appears in our sky all year is Cassiopeia or 'The Queen'. The lore of The Queen is also suitable, in greek mythology Cassiopeia was a boasting queen who was punished for her assumption of superiority.
I put together this basic illustration to explain how I have laid out my version of Cassiopeia:

This constellation benefits from being a relatively small one. Meaning that the stars appear nice and large on the space provided, also being more recognisable and easier to remember. I did draw up plans for two other suitable constellations however these were too large and unwieldy to really fit on a flag intended to work at many different sizes.
