Do we have any theme guides for the Magaambyan branches?

If I'm a member of the Cascade Bearers, Emerald Boughs, Rain-Scribes, Tempest-Sun Mages, or Uzunjati then what sort of aesthetic concerns might I have when displaying symbols of my branch or themed clothing?

What's the Magaambyan equivalent to wearing the merch'/colors of your department/frat/"house"?

If I were to craft a small symbol of my branch to wear then what would it look like?

The opening banner art in the Magaambya section of the Lost Omens Character Guide seems to demonstrate multiple groups of people, each dressing with a coordinated theme. From the context in that section I'd assume that each group is "on-brand" with a particular branch. Is that assumption on point? Whether yes, or no, what are some canon tidbits related to that?

What are some telltale clues or signals that would show me someone I just met is a member of my branch or another particular branch?

We don't really have these yet. The Mwangi Expanse book and upcoming Magaambya AP will probably provide a bit more detail on this, at least in terms of showing examples.

Those won't be out for a while, of course, but they're where the info will most likely be found.

Nothing canon, but I did think about it a little when writing the Magaambya stuff for the Lost Omens Character Guide.
I pictured badges with the Magaambyan logo, but certain patches of leaves being highlighted and colored differently based on branch affiliation.
Think of a pentagon and its five points. Starting at the top and going clockwise, they’d be: copper/Uzunjati, green/Emerald Boughs, red/Cascade Bearers, blue/Tempest-Sun Mages, yellow/Rain-Scribes.

Probably incorporate those colors into their outfits, too! ‘Course that’s all just my musing, we’ve yet to see any official Paizo info.

EDIT: I thiiiiiink one canon aesthetic note is the Tempest-Sun Mage NPC in LOCG having the names of people they’re protecting embroidered on their robes, but I don’t have my book handy.
