Fixed that image for you.
I agree it's an interesting parallel, if it weren't for those little circles. And apart from the emblem, there is something about the bottom left rosette that looks shapeless, primeval. It would also make a nice complement to the supposedly "inverted T-O map", which would then signify the separated state of water, air and land.
Those circles make the thing hard to explain in most cases. The only thing it reminds me of is the way they would sometimes draw constellations as circles connected by lines. There are examples in Latin manuscripts, though I can't provide one off the top of my head.
