I think it's a brilliant illustration first and foremost, but it also resembles slightly my own profile, or, how I would like my profile to look. Finally, it matches the colours of the banner.

But I'm a linguist, not a politician (unaesthetic wink). Yeah, you are reading a little too much into it.
