That's a great idea!! And yeah, even though you can go all crazy with
it, tripolar logic is something that sets Lojban apart from most other
languages--the third pole is the truly good idea; all other poles are
just more of the same. Also, flags shouldn't have more than three
colors.

A neat, simple, meaningful, conformist, modern-looking flag might just
be three vertical bars: black, grey, white.

I was watching at these two... (see attach) and thought the vertical one
is ugly (update: maybe no more so ;-) ), and the horizontal resembles the German flag (and Russian if
reversed).
Then I thought - a flag can be ugly. What shouldn't be ugly is герб
(heraldry or sth.). (Your jbocpi looks like a герб, and when I saw it
first, I've checked if it was the Klingon logo ;-) A logo of something
called "Claw" among some Star Trek pictures was similar... IIRC)
