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?
glitter and foil will blow you away
Love the idea.

But the transparency :( It makes the whole flag low contrast, an undesirable quality in flags.

I don't like the color blue. Can we change it?
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.
Blue needs to be paler, and the dot smaller ;-)
Can’t wait for CGP Grey’s review of this flag
So this is effectively the Esperanto of flags?
Judging by the comments here, the 1worldflag should have been a picture of two people arguing.
Probably more fitting as the flag of HN
Try to add a favicon for the website if you can guys, a blue dot would work well here.
This will be needed for the galactic civil wars that will soon take place.
What if we took Japan’s flag, imagined it printed on paper, but made the dot blue?

Holy typo… does the one world not have proofreaders?
Like all flags, this will come to represent those who choose to fly it, and the causes they fly it for. Which then makes them symbols of the ideas opposed by people who think flag waving is cringe.
I like the direction of unity but this will probably be problematic when we eventually start to colonize other planets. I don't want our first settlers to feel discriminated, so please kindly make a new version with more universality - now that I think about it, Universal Pictures also has the world in their logo so maybe this IS universal but we probably we need Jim and Hannah in the loop as well so they can chime in, and last but not least, we need a review from the legal so I CC'd to all, expect some new ideas/requirements.

Also, can we please make it "pop"?

ps. Attaching a version I made, and this took a lot of back and forth with chatgpt because I care about this a lot, so please have a look, I think we are close to something great here!

Looking forward to seeing more from you!

ps2. when I was about to send our manufacturing guy entered the room and he said the transparency could be a problem. Some alternatives without compromising the idea would be great! They must be cheap but elegant! Thank you!!

I would live to see the transparency around the funding and goals of this project.
the most european thing i’ve seen today
I like this. And furthermore, it is my opinion that all current nation states should be dismantled.
Will be useful for the inevitable war against the offworld colonies.
The Land of the Rising Sea.
Looks too much like japan’s flag.

Let’s try an earth and a sunrise behind it - half a circle sitting on the bottom of the rectangle, and a yellow circle making a sunrise on top of that, like a yolk sitting on a blue egg.
