    Skull and knives?

    So the aliens know we like to kill each other with knives and have a skeleton?

    We can't know if aliens even have a skeleton themselves, let alone bleed when cut by a basic-ass knife.

    Haah. I know they've tried to cram all the continents on to the same side of the globe to make us look united, but in doing so they've excluded new zealand. Sorry kiwis. Also Tasmania but they don't count.

    Dynamic flags will only cause headaches.

    Whereas dynamic headaches very rarely cause flags.

    By vexillology standards it's a bit meh. Tiny ass details so it's impossible to see from a distance and so overcomplicated that it's impossible to draw by hand. At least it doesn't have text though so simplify the seal and then we're talking.

    Hey that's like the inversion of the flag i always dreamt of for earth when i was a kid

    If you make the border the opaque part, then whatever you look at through the flag 'is' Earth. Very poetic imo, and an excellent picture frame

    A planetary flag kind of makes me feel like we’re gearing up for war.

    My favorite idea for a global flag was a small, sky blue pennant that’s hung above every country’s flag.

    I’m still a fan of a variation of this one, if used to represent our species as a whole.

    It's not terrible, if it were to represent our species.

    However, until we are an interplanetary species representing ourselves to other intelligent species I think a flag for "earth" is more relevant in most contexts.

    For example, if an earth flag was flown along side a country's flag, that conveys an intention of unity and cooperation. If a human flag is flown there it doesn't convey much additional meaning IMO.

    We aren’t the only ones on this planet though, it’s too egotistical.

    So you hold it in front of Mars, and now the Earth flag looks like Mars? Come on, think it through.

    Aliens: it appears to be a part of their internal structure that houses their motor processes. The remaining shape is of when their biological processes cease, along with devices used to cause that cessation.

    Perhaps the flag means they deliberately do this to themselves? From the look of their failing biosphere it would be apparent they are using accelerated means.
