Here's another one FWIW (since I don't know how well gnus and peacocks
get along in real life :-)

A gnu head filled with saffron shading to white shading to green (the
national flag colours) superimposed on the Ashok Chakra in the
background.  The Ashok Chakra could be, say, 10% larger than the
largest dimension of the gnu head.  Suggests the national flag without
actually being it.

I hope someone else can render this -- I haven't even learned how to
draw a circle in Gimp yet ;-)
