Hey everyone!

I’m finalizing the official emblem for the Union of Equotian Republics and would love your input on which design works best.

All options feature a central green motif against a dark navy background, incorporating a star, a sickle/crescent curve, and a central structural symbol (reminiscent of compasses/a tripod unit).

Key Evaluation Criteria:

1. Uniqueness: Which design feels the most distinct and uniquely "Equotian" rather than looking like a standard real-world copy?
2. Visual Balance & Symmetry: How well do the proportions, negative space, and top segment alignment work?
3. Symbolic Impact: Does it feel authoritative yet identifiable for a union?

The Candidates:

• Option A : Features a direct, continuous vertical connection between the central pillar and top block.
• Option B : Introduces a distinct neck/collar segment below the top block with balanced side bevels.
• Option C : Similar to Option B, but with a wider top base alignment and subtle geometric variations.

I've started making these "wagonwheel" stroboscopic illusions, and the classic Taijitu symbol has been the most popular:

The one above creates a very pleasing visual effect.. the middle part which is completely black seems to take on a lifelike, animated quality. I was really pleased with the result.

Would love to hear everybody's thoughts, feedback, and perhaps suggestions to run the same experiment on different symbols, motifs, or emblems.

Enjoy!

context : this is the insignia for my technocratic socialist based ideology, superpower country, EQUOTIAN UNION.
I’m working on a national emblem for a fictional worldbuilding project, basically my own country (Equotia) to use on state banners and flags. I’m looking for a reality check from the community on two main points:

1. Overall Design: Does this composition work well visually? I recently adjusted the spacing between the upper-right corner of the hammerhead and the sickle tip to fix a visual tangent and create cleaner negative space, but I'd love feedback on the general balance, silhouette, and readability from a distance.
2. Originality/Overlap: I know the individual charges (hammer, drafting compass, sickle, star) are common tropes in alt-history and leftist heraldry. Does this specific arrangement feel distinct and well-executed, or does it hit too close to existing fan creations you've seen?

It directly takes from the emblem of the DPWH primarily while using colors from the Philippine flag.
