Description
Same story as the other Advent-Unity flag, this was the alternate design I had made in MS Paint and had planned on using, before the kindly stranger decided to make a high quality version of that flag, and out of sheer goodwill, heeded my request to make this design in high quality. Whoever you are, stranger, if you're watching I have always and will always appreciate your generosity. The wavy ripple effect on the image is something you can do on Nationstates to make your flags look better, and unfortunately this is the only file I have for the high quality version, having apparently lost the original in the near-decade and the several hard drive crashes since.

Symbolism wise, the wings are just meant to give off the general 'seraph' feel that the Advent have in Sins of a Solar Empire, while the big circle is meant to symbolize the Unity, a civilization spanning telepathic network that all citizens of the Advent are connected to. And also because the previous design just felt very formal and rigid for a nation that was based on what amounts to transhumanist hippies, more or less. In the extremely meager lore for Sins of a Solar Empire, being communist drug loving hippies is what got them exiled from human space in the first place.

Anyway, always liked this design. You can see the beginnings of a shift from more 'traditional' flag design as associated with Modern Tech/modern day flag making and a shift towards more simplistic, symbolic philosophy.
