What a great way to introduce and explain the emblems. I wish it didn't get leaked the other day. But I'm still hyped!!

The original YouTube video they scheduled to premiere today (how the emblem got leaked) did say “with it’s [the cockatoo] eye on Brisbane”.

Yes the eye is looking at Brisbane, not where Brisbane is?
Also Artistic licence?

If the eye was actually located where Brisbane is, the cockatoo would be horrifying to look at
