Fnord:
New flag with the diagonal stripes looks much better - so much more dynamic that way. I was going to suggest a rising-sunburst design myself to denote how everything still revolves around the life-giving (and sometimes life-taking if you're not careful) sun.
Maybe if you threw in a starburst at the upper corner it would A) provide a nice little bit of that asymetry that flags crave, and B) provide the symbolism I mentioned above.
