As creator of the language and the logo...: It is not meant to be the Romanian or any other flag. It was indeed modeled after the Smalltalk balloon on the BYTE Magazine linked, but simplified into 3 'basic' colors: red, yellow (iso green) and blue, each with a slightly darker shade to make it look better. PS I own a copy of that visionairy BYTE magazine :-).
