<dd>The overall design alludes to Reddy's interest in the arts which she shares with her husband. For the arms, the colour red is a play on the surname Reddy. Gold alludes to achievement. It may also allude to constancy and wisdom. The cotises (narrow bendlets either side of the bend) alludes to film and the film industry. The cotises may also allude to the position of the sash of a Dame Grand Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit (GNZM) when worn over the right shoulder. The two theatrical Masks (comedy and tragedy) represent the performing and visual arts, in particular opera and music. For the badge, the gold chain and stylised mānuka flowers allude to the Principal Companion's badge of the Queen's Service Order.</dd></dl>
