Nowhere.girl Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Ok it may seem like a dumb question since the colors are all over the website but I searched it up on google and apparently there are 2/3 different flags for aromanticism (?) http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/aromantics/images/7/74/Aromantic_flag2.png/revision/latest?cb=20150430151847 http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/aromantics/images/0/0a/Aromantic_flag.png/revision/latest?cb=20150430151823 Is there an "official"aromantic flag? Which one do you use/like the most? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Phoenix Ace Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Hello computer literate cat. We had a poll about this earlier: This would seem to indicate that the image you posted is the one most liked by members of this site. It would be really good if we could all agree on a flag. That seems fairly basic doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis On Air Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 To summarise the discussion in that article, Green-Yellow-Orange-Black is similar to Rastafarianism; Green-Yellow-Grey-Black and Green-Green-Yellow-Grey-Black contain yellow which can stress out some autistic people; Green-Green-White-Grey-Black is most agreeable but does have less symbolism than others; Orange is Greyromantic, Yellow is Lithromantic, Grey is also Greyromantic, Green is opposite to Red so fits for Aromantic; and Black is for rejecting romance or Demiromantic.

Blue Phoenix Ace Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Dark green - aromantic Light green - ??? White - Romantic allies Grey - grey romantic Black - aromantic Maybe light green would be for Demiromantic? Please realize that not every flavor of the spectrum is going to get it's own color. I lump Lithromantic, WTFromantic, etc under grey romantic. Crud I just realized I put aromantic on there twice. Blah. I really don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I would interpret the colours I would personally understand the two greens of a representation of the fact that it's a spectrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodecahedron314 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I would have no problem with the most popular version of the aro flag (the one posted at the top of the thread and used for the site banner)...EXCEPT for the fact that it looks very similar to the agender flag. The proposed version of the aro flag is almost the same as this, except not symmetrical, and with one additional shade of green. It seems as though there's much more of a consensus on the agender flag than the aro flag, and I do like the symbolism of the old aro flag colors (especially the yellow for platonic love, though I do recognize that there are some people who have issues with yellow). Just something to keep in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zema Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Why does the flag have to be straight lines like that? Why not make the aro flag like the banner at the top, so that it's more easily distinguishable from other flags? It'd be much more unique that way.

Because, then, since a flag is a rectangle, some colors will have less area, like they count less. There are so many flags that it's very possible two to be similar. It doesn't matter, since the difference makes the difference. Netherlands doesn't change it's flag because it has the same colors with the flags of Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Thailand, Paraguay (which also have only horizontal stripes) and France (which also has three lines, with the same order of colors). I think we should focus to choose a flag that express us most and not to be unique just for it to be unique. We should focus on the meaning. After all, agender aren't the compltelly opposite of aromantics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be much more unique that way. yeah but with straight lines it's easier to make pride art. like knitting scarves - it's much easier to knit a rectangle or square, and to knit in straight lines, than to make other shapes. same with crocheting and sewing.

Flags don't necessarily have to be rectangles. Just look at Nepal's flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you imagine it to be in order the area of each color to be equal and the flag not to be impractical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinoa Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I like any of them except the one with orange. Those colors just don't go together, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
