Hey, that might just work.

Someone also mentioned cartoons. In South Africa, government logos or
posters sometimes have abstracted human shapes in various colours. They
deliberately use unrealistic colours like green, orange etc, so no-one
can say "hey, why is -MY- group not there". This also means that it can
be seen in various ways, different races, or different backgrounds, or
different languages etc, all working together as one (fits in nicely
with the spirit of Ubuntu). South Africa is a country with more than 11
ethnic groups, and this approach has worked Very well to ensure no one
feels left out.
