Stylized, contemporary allusion to water. Rather good. Four rivers from the Garden of Eden. Water from the rock. Justice flowing down like water. Righteousness an everlasting stream. The water of baptism. Jesus the living water who gives life. Water that wipes away all tears.
Cunjo: Practically all worship is wrapped in symbolism. As for colors, a lot of uses have developed over 2,000 years. Only Rome rather recently has canonically reduced the medieval liturgical colors to white, red, violet, green and rose. Other denominations are free to use whatever colors and follow whatever tradition they desire. A fairly common variaion is off-white in Lent and blue for Advent. The old Celtic tradition used white for festal, red for common time, and blue for penitential seasons. From this red is still used as the common color in many Protestant churches.

Whorship is about whorshiping God and not about symbolism of celebrant's stole. One of reasons for only four liturgical colours(plus black and pink).
I rather like this one!
red

This looks quite similar to what they made the Holy Father wear at "The Big Assembly" yesterday in London!
Who put the LSD in the communion wine?
