the flag is based on flowing fabrics, particularly images of ballerinas in long skirts doing arabesques. the symbol is a ribbon wand, created by combining the wand from magicwand in this folder and this ribbon png. here's the symbol by itself:
[image id: two images of the elegraciae symbol, which is a ribbon wand with its ribbon in motion. in the left image, the handle is soft brown, the ribbon is periwinkle, and both are outlined in cream. the right image is only of the cream outline. a blank image is placed between the two to make them take up less space on the screen. end id.]
