    Flag for the Machines Republic of Alaska, a fictional country.

    Context

    The MRA is a socialist country ruled by machines; humans are also welcome. It is the successor to Alaska.

    At some point in the 2050s, a Marxist programmer got exiled to Alaska. He got bored and decided to make some robots. The robots became Marxist and started a revolution; they perceived capitalism as wasteful and hated it as much as other marginalized minorities.

    In the late 2060s, they managed to recuperate Alaska and form a socialist country.

    Design

    Hammers are there just to be cool.

    A revised socialist United-States flag.

    Context

    I really liked the direction of this flag. Some people wanted a star, and I wanted one, so I added one star (for a federal socialist country).

    Description

    The charge represents an eagle facing it's wings and beak (black trapezoid) towards a star (representing a socialist federal country).

    Self-criticism

    I probably should have used the blunt edge of the hammers as a beak, considering the blunt side of the hammer is the commonly used side; but that would look weird because beaks are always a triangle... right?

    Link to the original flag in SVG.

    War-Flag variant.

    Context

    I noticed that the wings formed a heart shape; vertically flipping the wings, the flag looked like the bird was protecting something, so I elaborated on that approach. The birds face downward, like they are protecting the star.

    ![The original flag; but the wings are flipped vertically and the hammer-and-eye-s have moved up. The star has flipped posit

    Flag for a socialist United States.

    (Now if only the U.S could turn socialist…)

    Context

    A flag designed for a socialist U.S. The charge is supposed to be an eagle in a socialist style.

    I didn't use the white and blue colors; because they have derogatory meanings.

    Flag of efficientism.

    Context

    Efficientism is a belief (I made up) in which efficiency should govern life. The economic systems of a country could change based on efficiency; clothing would be sold based on efficiency.

    Design

    • Blue is water.
    • Yellow is energy (both from the sun and water).
    • The gear represents automation.
      • The brown half represents the waterwheel, which indicates the idea that only required effort should be utilized.
      • The red half represents communism. Greed is a problem for efficientism; because greed often strays from efficiency. Hence, the workers or majority population should be prioritized over minorities.

    Free and open-source wetware.

    Context

    This flag promotes the idea that wetware should be free and open source.

    Design

    The flag is a variant of the open-source hardware logo, with a background color.

    • The light-blue gear and pinkish keyhole is a variation of the open-source hardware logo; the colors are commonly found in neurons.
    • The yellow background symbolizes freedom.

    Open source wetware flag.

    Context

    This "flag" (I'm skeptical to call it a flag because it doesn't really look like one) promotes the idea that wetware should be open source.

    Design

    The flag is a variant of the open-source hardware logo.

    • The pinkish background and the light-blue gear represent the colors commonly found in neurons.

    Self-controlled privacy flag.

    Context

    A flag that promotes self-controlled privacy.

    Design

    • The square bracket '[' references Matrix. It could also represent a shield or cover.
    • The closed eyelash (a curve with a triangle attached to it) symbolizes liberty in deciding when to open up private information.
    • The arrows represent reflections [of surveying eyes].
    • The background is a yellow, for liberty. I wish I chose grey instead, for the anonymity.

    (Socialist) homeless solidarity flag.

    Context

    A flag for socialist solidarity with the homeless or poor.

    The charge has three weapons: tree branch, rocks, and a millwall brick. These objects are easy to find or make. (Trees and rocks are common across earth; newspapers are still in large quantity.)

    The dotted-circle represents the open inclusion of homeless people who are not socialist.

    Enterprise Copyright Flag.

    Context

    Enterprise Copyright is the idea that corporations can be copyrighted (beyond their death).

    Design

    The charge is a merge of the copyright symbol (©) and a capital E (the first letter in enterprise); this symbol represents enterprise copyright.

    The background is blue because I haven't thought of a proper background yet.

    I haven't defined a meaning to this flag design yet. What is your interpretation of it?

    Bow-sickle style flag.

    I felt like making a flag with a similar reference to the hammer-and-sickle (☭); but as a bow (and arrow).

    (Egalitarian) freedom of information flag.

    Context

    This flag represents the egalitarian freedom of information.

    Design

    • The yellow background implies liberty.
    • The magnifying glass represents information.
      1. The magnifying glass is vertically straight to represent the lack of bias.
      • The horns represent the GNU, which supports copyleft, horns. (It probably isn't neccessary imo.)

    :::spoiler Here is the flag without the horns.

    Universal apologeticism flag.

    This flag represents universal apologeticism (the idea that everyone should be allowed to apologize).

    Design

    1. The black background is symbol for anarchist thought; it represents that
    2. The red cross is a universal symbol for hospitality.
    3. The halo represents the idea of forgiveness.
    • Yellow represents liberty..
    • White represents purity.

    Alternative design Rotated

    I rotated the red cross because I felt like it; (but it could represent the opposite of hospitality (inhospitality).

    Flag of a Parasitic United States (Of America)

    Context

    This flag represents a United States that became parasitic in the search for liberty.

    Design

    • The dark red background symbolizes the original identity of the U.S (being the 13 colonies) being lost to time; it now represents unnecessary violence.
    • The dark blue circle is a throw back to the dark blue canton in the current U.S flag.
    • The yellow worm (supposed to be a hook worm) is a symbol of the U.S leeching off other countries (and people), sometimes to their detriment.
      • The thick geometric claws relate to the German Swastika; it symbolizes fascist traits in the U.S.

    Alternative, free wetware (computer) flag.

    This flag is an alternative free wetware flag to my previous design.

    Flag design

    • The red sphere is the nuclei; the light-blue connection is the axom of a neuron. (They symbolizes a neuron.) They are used in wetware computers.
    • The black computer symbolizes hardware and software
    • Yellow background represents freedom.

    :::spoiler This flag represents the idea that cars are superior to other forms of transportation.

    The black background with a white line and yellow line white lines represents a road for cars. (There are no yellow lines; because I wanted this flag to be understood globally; not just in the US or Eurasia.)
