It is based on the colours of the British flag - blue, white and red, and features the striking swirl pattern familiar from the opening sequence of the 007 film. The national flowers of England (tudor rose), Wales (trumpet daffodil), Scotland (thistle) and Northern Ireland (shamrock), which make up the United Kingdom, are placed at the centre of the spiral.
