Alternative Asexual Flag Design – Mark II
Following on from yesterday's alternative asexual flag post, a slight modification to the design based on some prompting and suggestions from @stargazerley :)
I have added an inner ring and two "spokes" to the outer circle to distinguish the flag's design from Morgan Carpenter's intersex flag, while also adding a bit of visual interest and flair that helps highlight the inner circle by improving the visual flow a bit.
I'm really pleased with this design and will see how I can make an SVG version for people to use.
Please note: this flag is not intended to replace the asexual flag currently in use since 2010. I have great respect for it and its original designers and I believe their intentions were and are good.
However, I have never personally felt represented by it, and I find its colour scheme to be rather drab. I also feel the use of mostly monochromatic colours gives the impression of seriousness, desolation and coldness, a stereotype many asexuals have been trying for decades to shake off. I see no reason to simply take the flag for granted as the only option to represent asexuals as a community.
This design provides an alternative for me and other people who wish they had another symbol, one that perhaps better represents their diverse experiences as asexual people.
Explanation for the symbolism below.
