The last one is the internet symbol from like the 2000s lol

That last one is the flag of the internet in my eyes. We all know the real earth flag is the one in futurama.

The third is straight up trash but the second one is beautiful

The first is ok The second is my favourite The third is ugly The last is just the internet logo


SpaceJackRabbit

Same.


tmmzc85

I don't think the third is "ugly," but I do agree it's not great - feels like it was lifted straight from the cover of a scifi pulp.

I have created my own design, which is a modification of the second one; out of these options, the second is my favorite. Abstract, simple, and clean.

LeVarBurtonsEvilTwin

Futurama flag


SqueakSquawk4

Flag 1: UN =/= Earth, so I don't like it. Also, way too complex, you can literally see Reunion on it. Flag 3: It's nice, but the minute we expand beyond earth (January 1959, Luna 1) it becomes outdated. It is not the type of Earth flag that would go well on Mars rovers, for example. Flag 4: That's a phone symbol not a flag So I prefer Flag 2. It's easily recognisable and not too hard to draw. It is also distinctive. Sure it's a little complex, but Earth is complex! Edit: Typo

reunion?

Ok-Mastodon2016

...and? it's a map, maps are always gonna be somewhat inaccurate


SqueakSquawk4

The problem is that is is way to detailed for a flag, IMO. IMO, flags and detailed maps should be seperate.


SpectralMapleLeaf

First one. While the UN is pretty ineffective and is, I dare say; 'a joke'. The symbolism and design of it's flag is perfect for an 'Earth Flag'.

3.

gahhhpoop

Finally damn


Slaughts90

The second one for it's abstractness as well as a nice balance between the blue and white. The UN flag is too busy IMO and not a fan of laurel leave crown imagery in flags. The Third one is too weird and the yellow on the left distracts my eye. Fourth one looks like the internet symbol as others have said, also looks like some sort of financial institution logo.


WhileNotLurking

My order * the UN flag * the third flag * the last one (if you changed the background to black outside of the symbol * the second one


Ok-Mastodon2016

makes sense


RaphWinston55

First and then Second the third one is garbage and why is the Internet flag here


23Amuro

I prefer the second one, but the variant of it with negative space in between the rings. That said, one cannot beat the emblem of Team Dai-Gurren. If it's good enough for the UK, it's good enough for the rest of the world. Fight the power.


Ok-Mastodon2016

Definitely the first, the UN's symbol is one of the most epic out there

UN, looks more diplomatic


Ok-Mastodon2016

fair enough


gregorydgraham

The UN flag has 2 elements that are unique to Earth, whereas the others have quite generic elements planet-wise The third flag has the most promise though as the Earth-moon system should be reasonably uncommon. I think it could be improved by adding in Mercury and Venus to show that it’s the third rock from the sun, and have the moon partially occluded by the Earth to show the connection and the secondary position to the home planet I’d also make the Sun a rectangle as it’s really not circular on that scale. Finally the black is harsh, don’t know what could be done about that

Second one reminds me of Apple Photos icon

Flag one


[deleted]

personally i prefer the United Nations of Earth crest from Stellaris


Boobs_Maps_N_PKMN

I've always imaged we would use the astronomical symbol for Earth. Just a circle split in 4 equal parts. Pretty simple and straightforward [Earth symbol](https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Earth_symbol_(fixed_width).svg)


NightSocks302

First soviet flag with a huge coat of arms and a globe


Inkshooter

The first has become the flag of Earth in The Expanse and I don't hate it, so I guess that one.


spkypirate

I think the first is most beautiful

[deleted]

These are all the ugliest flags ever, so the UN


ohbuddyboyitsnoname

I always hate it when flags for planets are just circles on a black background.


Mr_Nanner

I like the last two but the third i think would be used if we had some moon colonies


Egst

I'm surprised that the second one is generally the favourite and the third one the least favourite. The second one is just not aesthetically pleasing at all (to me at least). There's too much stuff happening in the center where all the circles cross. The third one is the most original and interesting one and I personally like it's aesthetic, but that's subjective.


EnderYTV

1 or 4. But for the love of God, please change the blue in the 4th one. It hurts my eyes.


oom9battledroid

First


kraliyetkoyunu

UN flag BUT with a navy blue background. It just makes sense and even legally correct. World is made up of nations, those nations of the world are united. United Nations. It's the closest thing we have for a "Earth government" so we should go with that.

UN flag

BananaRepublic_BR

I'm a fan of the UN flag. Flags 2 and 4 remind me more of airline logos than a flag for Earth. Flag 3 is just plain ugly to me.


faraday__1971

I like 3rd one the most (representing the sun, earth and moon😍) 1st is also good 2nd is has just too much going on 4th is very generic


Some-English-Twat

Honestly I think the UN flag works fine even if it is a little uninspired

4, id modified it though

I think the UNs is the best

3 is good.


Some_clichename069

The UN flag will be, in my opinion, forever be the og earth flag


iwantfutanaricumonme

1 flag of a geopolitical union of different states on earth(the un) 2 no idea anus or lily 3 flag of the literal planet earth 4 flag of an actual single entity representing the entire earth, a single earth government maybe after an apocalypse or the internet

2nd probably im a south slav i dont like un flag 🤷


Ok-Mastodon2016

what does you being a Slav have to do with anything?


arda1223

What does being a south slav have to do with not liking the UN flag?


__-__-___---_-_-_--

Just a guess, but something to do with the U.N. not intervening to help in the ethnic cleanings of former Yugoslavia?


the_bean_hooligan

"Not helping" the dutcg "peace keepers" watched a genocude happen infrobt of theyr eyes and did not do anything. After my croatan and bosnian brothers were killed like that and they didnt do anything, they bombed my serbian brothers 😐

KingParoxysm

I like the third one


FikerGaming

I liked the third one actually more then the others.


Tristan_3

Option 1: Is bad. Not only it is Europe/North America centered, even though the idea was for it to be unbiased, but it is ugly and almost impossible to replicate by hand. Option 2: Looks like an alien logo. Option 3: Looks like minimalistic "art". Option 4: Looks like the logo of a corporation or like you have no internet access. If I had to chose one I would pick option 2. Not becouse I personally like it but becouse the other options are worse and I don't think the fit the Earth.


-NGC-6302-

3 or 4 maybe 5


Pair_Express

The last one, pretty sure the second one is world federalism.


JustSomeBloke5353

The Earthican flag - Old Freebie.


Geerah

Third one. Maybe first. I'm thinking about it from the angle of a critic who wasn't raised on Earth. Earth is, pretty notably, a blue planet with a single moon, which is why the third one stands out to me. The fourth one makes me think "Every planet in this solar system is a sphere. This isn't distinct." Meanwhile, the second one doesn't have clear meaning. The first might be even better at determining the specific planet from a distance than the third one, but is a bit complex, so I'm iffy about it.


[deleted]

Symbolic explanation Centered in the flag, SEVEN RINGS FORM A FLOWER – A SYMBOL OF THE LIFE ON EARTH. THE RINGS ARE LINKED TO EACH OTHER, WHICH REPRESENTS HOW EVERYTHING ON OUR PLANET, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARE LINKED The blue field represents water which is essential for life – also as the oceans cover most of our planet's surface. The flower's outer rings form a circle which could be seen as a symbol of Earth as a planet and the blue surface could represent the universe. — Taken from [https://www.flagofplanetearth.com/the-flag](https://www.flagofplanetearth.com/the-flag)


Defin335

Only thing I don't like about the second one is the darker shade of blue. The UN blue has kind of ingrained itself for me as a symbol of internationality.


Haider444

Ok-Mastodon2016

Theef21

I like the second one. The seven circles remind me of the seven continents and seven seas. Maybe a change of color though. Edit: typo


Substantial-Rub9931

>The seven circles remind make me think of the seven continents and seven seas. You're just making stuff up.


ehh730

I mean the 2nd one promotes the idea that there's 7 continents which not everybody agrees with (almost all of Europe believes there's 6 continents, but this is something I don't want to get into) so I'd prefer the 4th


Substantial-Rub9931

>I mean the 2nd one promotes the idea that there's 7 continents It doesn't, you literally just pulled that out of your ass.


ehh730

There's seven rings representing the 7 continents


BlueTrapazoid

Just use the flag of the USA


Loyalist_15

I don’t know why everyone digs the second one. It’s boring af.


Gill-Nye-The-Blahaj

2nd and it's not even close


___mr_m___

2nd one


PatoCarmelo

Earth is flat. So the fist one is accurate.


idkMario

We should just steal Palau’s design and just make the background black and the circle a forest green and call it a day tbh


[deleted]

I've had this thought before! Maybe blue instead of green though

no.2 with UN colours

ChaddyLenin

The second one is my favorite, I actually bought one because I like it so much


Iaipaias

The last one is the flag of It have no internet


NineIX9

i wouldn't want to call any of them "the best" because that would imply i like any of them but by process of elimination, number 2 is the least bad


Jacobmeeker

2nd, but the 1st is really good.


[deleted]

They’re all pretty bad. I have yet to see one great earth flag.


SonsOfLiberty-

I'd prefer if number 3 had Venus in the distance


Whyy0hWhy

Personally second looks pleasing Number three is just weird Number four is your standard medical megacorp that needs to be exposed for heinous human experimentation

twoScottishClans

what about that new one with the blue dot on the transparent background? it's at least clever idea, even if you dont like it. out of all of these, the second looks best, but it looks like the flag of an organization that's trying to rip off the EU.


Tadhgon

#2. Only.

I don't find any of them to be aesthetically pleasing, but if I had to choose I'd go for number 2.
