by Daniel EatockA composite of the 1913 Olympic Rings crated by Pierre de Coubertin (representing the 5 continents) and the RAF Roundel.
"Roundels in British heraldry have different names depending on their tincture (colour)... During the Second World War, the red inner circle of RAF-based roundels on planes based in the Asia-Pacific was painted white or light blue, so they would not be confused for the Hinomaru red circle on Japanese planes, still used by the self-defense forces of Japan to this day. The roundel, especially the RAF's, has been associated with British pop art of the 1960s, appearing in paintings by Jasper Johns. It became part of the pop consciousness after British rock group The Who started to wear RAF roundels (and Union Flags) as part of their stage apparel at the start of their career. Subsequently it came to symbolise Mods and the Mod Revival."
I like it a lot. What do you think?
