propagandery:

Does Earth need a
flag? Perhaps not, at least not until we have another planet on which to
plant it (or another civilization with which to exchange diplomatic
stationary). But that doesn’t mean actually designing one is a pointless
process – as proven by the results of a new project to do exactly
that.

Oskar Pernefeldt of the Beckmans College of Design in Stockholm, Sweden, designed a new flag for the world as part of his graduation project and it’s already causing a stir online.

That design looks like a simplified Japanese family crest… Doesn’t say Earth to me at all…
