Here's another puzzle of this type. Perhaps my next one will be complex enough to require the full $72$ x $72$ size.

Is visual the only applicable tag here? The original post said that the tags should indicate the techniques involved to find the solution – HTM Oct 19 '19 at 02:00

1@PiIsNot3 I'll add "Cipher" though it really isn't. It's a communication protocol (big hint!). – Jens Oct 19 '19 at 09:11

Possibly that hint was too big. – Jasen Oct 19 '19 at 10:14

@Jasen It probably was. :) – Jens Oct 19 '19 at 10:17

The symbols look like
morse code - .. ... .- .-. . -.. .... . .-. .-. .. -. --.
but decoded it spells
TIS A RED HERRING
but it's a clue to the steganography:
If blue is long and yellow is short and a notch is a pause
It says
-- --- .-. ... . .. -. -.-. --- .-.. --- .-.
which translates to
MORSE IN COLOR

Ugh, I got the red herring message but didn’t know what to do with the notches. Good job! – HTM Oct 19 '19 at 10:18

I edited your answer to hide essential information under spoiler blocks, just a heads up – HTM Oct 19 '19 at 10:22
