Is this canonical, or inspired by the overall Arakawa aesthetic?

I based it off of a flag design I saw in Brotherhood. This is just one version of the flag I saw though, the others are here imgur.com/a/GAni8 . I'd say that there is no universally accepted flag of Amestris but rather that they are all based loosely on each other.
I actually put in some thought about the symbolism of their flag based on in universe evidence. There is a scene where Ed describes the symbol of a two headed dragon as representing a "complete being" so perhaps a single headed dragon could symbolize an incomplete being, or one half of a complete being. Which kinda makes sense in terms of Amestris and its intended purpose.
