polyamproud have released the results of their poll for a new pride flag, and i really like the result!

Polyamproud Pride Flag

(opinion below)


i submitted my own design, but even ill admit the colours needed work and the execution was rushed. this one is far better! it was my #2 pick in the vote, but it's probably the best of the four options presented.

it's clearly 'a pride flag' at first glance, even if it's not whacking you over the head with "poly!" symbology. is symbology a word anywhere but arcgis? you might not immediately know it's the poly flag, but hey, would you know πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ or πŸ‡²πŸ‡« were pride flags without context?

it's also got a nice lineage from the old, if you put them side by side then you can see how one kinda /evolved/ into the other. the yellow pi became a gold heart, and the colors are more unique (and nicer looking) shades of what was there before.

i also like the offset chevron, which is funky and unique while still being fundamentaly flaggy, which is great!

in reply to @irina's post:

I liked the infinity heart too... I used to use the one with the pink heart/blue infinity on a white circle on a blue/pink/very-dark-blue background. It was the only one I've found really aesthetically appealing.

The yellow and white makes me think "fried egg" and the offset chevron is weirdly upsetting. Was the one with the infinity heart on a white circle with the light-blue/hot-pink/dark-blue palette not available to vote for? This one's more aesthetically pleasing than most, but that's not a hard bar to clear. The only one I can really say I liked was the one I just mentioned.
