I want to stick to that design. That makes my work easier... btw do you know what this Cross is known as? I have seen similar designs, but can't seem to find them now... I'll get your petitions moving...

A cross with three crossbars is sometimes called a Cross of Salem. The crosslet variety (as depicted in Cameron's design) seems to be a common Masonic symbol. But also see this page, which provides some interesting information about how the triple cross (sometimes even with crosslets) was associated with the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and the mythical king Prester John by Catalan cartographers in the Middle Ages. You might describe the cross as a Cross of Salem crosslet, a triple-barred cross crosslet, or a cross of three bars crosslet.

Here is a link to the image that verifies this triple cross might just work :-) This flag is in the portolan of Mecia de Viladestes from 1413 in the region between the White and the Blue Nile.

I've always heard it referred to as the "Cross of De Molay." But whatever works for the naming convention.
