Transparency in a flag is new to me. It's surprisingly effective here. Could this be done with just cloth without synthetics by using thinner threads or thread count?
I also love the transparency and am surprised it hasn’t been used more. Granted, it would be very difficult to achieve with natural materials and also be durable. A flag should be able to withstand an ocean voyage exposed to the elements.
The website mentions silk organza at https://1worldflag.com/flag/. That's where my mind went initially, some kind of sheer silk fabric. I don't know how durable it would be in the elements though.
I reckon the actual color doesn't matter as long as it's blue-ish. There are no branding guidelines or anything. Even the size of the circle is unspecified, which IMO is a feature, not a bug. It's accessible :)
EDIT: I'm incorrect, there is a spec. Whelp! I still like my imagined more-flexible version of the flag.
Very cool, hard to beat the Earthican flag though

The microplastics inherent in synthetics is the point.
Can’t wait for CGP Grey’s review of this flag
This will be needed for the galactic civil wars that will soon take place.
I don't like the color blue. Can we change it?
Humanity's working on it, lol
Add a favicon for your website, a blue dot is a no-brainer here.
Judging by the comments here, the 1worldflag should have been a picture of two people arguing.
Yes! Classic.
We don’t have an outside enemy atm so we squabble amongst ourselves, it’s a pattern as old as humans have gathered into groups.
but that's the wrong shade of blue? It'd have been great if they took the colour from "The blue marble" instead of this Turbo Pascal blue.
What do you mean by "wrong"?

Maybe they couldn't find American Flag Blue??? Or is that reserved for swimming pools now?
What if we took Japan’s flag, imagined it printed on paper, but made the dot blue?
So this is effectively the Esperanto of flags?
Esperanto actually already has a flag

Yep, that no one uses too.
Love the idea.
But the transparency :( It makes the whole flag low contrast, an undesirable quality in flags.
Blue needs to be paler, and the dot smaller ;-)
I was disappointed it wasn't a pale blue dot as well.
Esperanto flag.
