I came up with an idea for a flag of an interstellar federation for a Sci Fi project I've got floating around in my head. I don't think anything much will come of it, but I figured I might as well share my flag idea with you guys and see what you think.

The Flag of the Neo-Terran Federation is as follows: A deep blue field with a single black pile in the top quadrant. It has a center charge of a golden Phoenix, in a stylized form similar to Art Deco, the leading edges of its outstretched wings following the lines of the black pile. Beneath the wings of the phoenix are a number of Stars equaling the systems of the Federation.

I would like to know what you think of this design, as well as what you can infer of the federation based on its symbolism; mainly to make sure I got the symbolism correct. If anyone wants to draw and post this, I would be thrilled to see it.

That works too! I went with my assumption because of the phoenix being between the blue (little blue dot) and black(ness of space).

The styles you were leaning towards were giving me somewhat fascist vibes, but it also makes sense for a militarised group. I suspect that as a rebel group they'll be more in the grey than straight good or bad, despite being (I assume) the good guys for the audience.
