The trigrams next to "Heaven" represent Heaven, and the trigrams next to "Vision" represent fire. Combining the two trigrams with Heaven on top (as in the banner) creates hexagram 13, which is associated with the phrase "people gather." Turning it upside down creates hexagram 14, associated with "possession in great measure".
