Flag of IPolcathica

The Flag of IPolcathica is the "official" flag used to reference an IPolcathican or their culture. It consists of an irregular purple trapezoid set on a green background, bordered on the fly side by a gold stripe and a pink stripe, and on the hypotenuse by eight stars, with three rings of red, blue, and yellow on the green patch.

The irregular purple trapezoid represents the longest running conversation since IPolcathica first formed: the argument of whether purple is or isn't a color. The three rings, set in the green patch to signify the strong connection and blurry boundaries between IPolynesia and IPolcathica, given that one exists within the other, signify the three types of thinking, similarly to the Flag of IPolynesia. Red represents the artists and stylists, blue represents the nerds, and yellow represents the athletes and gamers. The green background and the gold stripe show the connection with Cal Poly, and the pink band represents the unofficial mascot of IPolynesia, the Flying Pig. The eight stars signify the eight semester projects of IPoly, which are all-encompassing to IPolcathicans. The stars are gray to represent how often the group calls each other "spoon."

History
The flag is loosely based on the Flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is the origin of the irregular trapezoid and the stars. Although the idea was solely Joe Askharoun's, it was created during a Discord call, with regular feedback given throughout the process.

Coat of Arms
The Coat of Arms of IPolcathica is based on the coat of arms of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the same way the IPolcathican flag is based on the Bosnian flag. Unlike the Flag, the Coat of Arms has the two vertical gold and pink strips on the right side as horizontal and on the top, and the three rings are not perfectly centered, so as to keep the balance.
