Most of the proposed flags have the color blue as a symbol of Sumer Civilization, Euphrates and Tigris, the sky of mesopotamia. The other three colors I picked from the 1959 Flag. While the symbol in the middle may look like a meaningless logo it represents both the national flower of Iraq and the star of Ishtar while also expressing the twin rivers of iraq with two white strips.

Interesting, thank you for the explanation!

I still believe that the bars should be horizontal rather than vertical, and that there should be some green on the flag.

I do agree, green is a primary color in the arab revolt flag.

I'm no professional designer I just learned inkscape lately and thought it would be fun to redesign flags and logos in the process.
