Alternate Emblem of the Republic of China

Description

The plum blossom (meihua/梅花) is the national flower of the Republic of China (Taiwan); it has been officially declared since 1964. Besides, it's one of the two traditional Chinese floral emblems; the other one is peony. The plum blossom emblem is prominent in symbols like in the Chinese Taipei Olympic flag,, diplomatic missions of the RoC in the whole world (either embassies in countries like Paraguay or TECOs) and government branches, particularly the Legislative Yuan.

Personally, I find the emblem of the RoC very similar to the Kuomintang party logo; after all, their histories were intertwined until the period of democratization in Taiwan between 1987 and 2000. As a result, I've decided to create and alternate version of the RoC  emblem.

I edited out the seal of Legislative Yuan on Pixlr immediately after I've downloaded it from Wikipedia Commons. Then, I used MS Paint for further editing (e.g. some clean-up and filling the now-empty meihua emblem with color red). After that, I returned to Pixlr in order to make the background transparent. Then I finished the job on Photoscape, where I combined the plum blossom emblem with the Blue Sky with a White Sun , also downloaded from Wikipedia Commons.

Can also be used in ATL Republic of China scenarios (e.g. ROC-in-Yunnan, ROC-in-Hainan, ROC south of Yangtze (with or without Taiwan), KMT won the Civil War scenarios).
