Comments are welcome.
Don't forget to check parts I and II of the series.
I think my personal favourite is your proposal in Part II, although that doesn't have a Southern Cross. I am glad you kept the white ribbon as a reference to the armillary sphere, I like the idea of all the Brazil flags in history sharing a symbol.
