I was wondering, what is on the Empire's flag?

I've heard people say it was a rose, but I don't know.

It looks like a screaming Yoshi, actually... But other than that, I can't tell.

A rose? It just looks like a strategically placed blob to me. And it always will, because it is a special blob, and does not seem to look like anything else.

EDIT: I'll try to get a bigger picture so it's easier to see.

i always thought it was some sort of flower that strategically had that V shape, but it could be just a random symbol.

I could have swore that I've seen it somewhere, and they told what it was. But I can't remember where I found it.

Here's a fairly good picture of it. Here.

It's not enough for me to figure it out, but maybe someone else can.

I really don't understand the resemblance to a rose, except for the "thorns" that stick out, because the top looks nothing like the actual flower part of a rose.

Can anyone why my thinking is different than yours?

I've been trying to get a bigger picture but, so far, short of playing the game through, which I haven't been able to do, no luck.

edit: here it is

user posted image

doesn't really look like a rose, but the black shadowing/outline kinda makes it seem like it is.

oh and, Hq4x ftw smile.gif

Considering the genocidal imperialistic function of "The Empire" inthe game and the red background of the banner, I don't think asking is really necessary. ;-)

Anyway, I always thought of it like it was a profile of a rather anorexic guy in bizarre armor bowing his head down into his arms, cut off below the shoulder/arms themselves. It does look more like a partial silhouette of a plant now that I really think about it however.

Also, I think I see it now, a screaming yoshi, lol. Probably in agony from the melting of its flesh if I'm looking at it with the right focus...

It looks like it has petals and a stem, but that's just about it.
