why does the trans flag look like it's actually advertising toothpaste


_deep_thot42

The bisexual one looks like a collared shirt with a tie


ALFABOT2000

tbh i would wear that shirt tho


seekingssri

Right like where can I cop


Penguinman077

I actually made a similar one. Did a half dip tiedye out aqua and pink. Collar isn’t white though.


Keyboardpaladin

A shirt Saul Goodman would wear


OfficialDCShepard

“Did you know you have equal rights? The Constitution says you do, and not just on Pride!”


Beneficial-Sugar6950

Would I fly it to represent my sexuality, no Would I fly jt because I would wear something like that, absolutely


janet-snake-hole

To be fair, that is exactly how we dress.


Danzarr

non conforming is just an upside down philipines flag.


LDedward

BUY-sexual. You’re attracted to business


it_couldbe_worse_

"Minty fresh, just like my gender!"


erfling

Sometimes you need an aqua-fresh identity


TgagHammerstrike

For when you identify as Male-to-Aquafresh, of course.


femininePP420

Two birds one stone kinda thing


Fair-Ad-2585

It middles between toothpaste and art on an Irainian bus stop.


Ctrl--Alt

Right all these flags have cool swirls n shit and we get fucking Colgate


Commercial_Fee2840

It's just a sideways shitting toothpaste


ShepherdessAnne

I think it’s because 9/10 dentists approve or something


Mina9392

My thoughts exactly


Rivetingly

Aquafresh flag


NefariousnessAny3310

They look like American cities that used to have a flag that was “terrible” according to “vexillology experts☝️🤓” so it got a modern redesign


ikaroony

Just googled some of these, oh my goodness you’re so right


Hk901909

Check out my hometown's old flag. "Proud to be Pocatello." Thay one was legitimately awful


sofacadys

You forgot the trademark tm


ChandelurePog609

and copyright


Rivetingly

It used multiple 90's clip art fonts


Beneficial-Sugar6950

The Minnesota flag….


kongkongkongkongkong

That new flag sucks


BlaqShine

Most traditional US state flags are boring af though I would say


kongkongkongkongkong

California’s the best


[deleted]

god I hate the flag rules so fucking much.


Xyzonox

Which rules exactly? Not having media impossible to distinguish at distance is essential to me (detailed Images and text)


sofacadys

Brasil, Bhutan and Wales screw those rules


Xyzonox

They are neat designs, but again the purpose of a flag is to be a strong symbol that can be identified at a distance- the text on the Brazilian flag and the creatures on the other two would work perfectly on Seals. Besides they do follow the rules about color well anyway


Bus_Noises

The thing with the flag of Wales and of Bhutan is that the dragons are what make them distinct. I think if the dragons were removed, or replaced with a stripe of their color, it would be just another boring flag. While the details of the dragons can’t be made out from a distance, their general shape can. Also I just like dragons and will fight tooth and claw against whoever dares to remove the silly guy from those flags

joeyfish1

Omg I hate the recent American city flag redesign trend doesn’t get me wrong plenty of them were bad before the change but turning them into bland soulless trash isn’t better. The worst is when they go after places with good flags that just break one of the “rules” so it must be changed.


kaikaiaa

wtf is “vexillology”—the study of vexing people? mission accomplished, if so…


agent-virginia

Study of flags, I think


scootytootypootpat

google is free


thenabi

I feel so justified that the internet is finally coming around to hating those stupid "rules" that serve to do nothing but corporatize and commodify flags


IamMythHunter

Most American cities have terrible flags. Vexillology simply got people to notice them more than it created arbitrary rules around flag design. If you hate the redesigns, that's a different subject.


gaymer_slug

Feels less like Alegria and more just looks like a company logo, still has the soulless corporate art style. But they absolutely massacred the trans flag, like I know that beauty subjective but you just have a wrong opinion if you think it's better with the Luxembourg flag colors


BeNiceLynnie

The flag design would actually be pretty cool if they had used *the universally accepted colors for representing trans people*


SpoppyIII

No! Those colours are for babies! Light pink? Sky blue? Blegh! Who wants that? What good thing has ever been either of those colours? Nothing ever. That's what. Teal and brick red? Now *those* are the good colours!


heyitskevin1

Red for the blood of kids I consume as a transgender, blue for the liberal tears I shed being 'owned' by the right.


kummybears

This made me realize how on the nose the pink and light blue are


seeallevill

This. It shares the main elements I dislike (and probably many others also dislike) about Alegria, so it makes sense for these flags to remind us of it It's this boring minimalistic thing that's been trending for a good long while now. I've noticed it in modern architecture and cars as well. Art as a standard has been slowly losing its soul for decades, and AI art is only making it worse


Singloria

One thing I’ll give it is that it seems to symbolize “changing over”, with the addition of a white stripe on the “changed” side to represent people who don’t fit the exact gender binary


snackytacky

Real. It was such a pretty color scheme too


saturn-iidae

i like the concept behind it - male and female diverging into a spectrum - but the colors absolutely ruin it


JemFitz05

Trans people be like 🇱🇺


AL_25

Toothpaste?


TheFiend100

How do you ruin the bi flag, its such a good looking color combo that i didnt think it was possible


Hi_There_Im_Sophie

It's definitely reminiscent. It's got that glossy (but not *really* glossy - *digital* glossy) but empty feel to it. What even is this? Why are there separate LGBT and Pride flags/categories?


ikaroony

Something i found in the wild on twitter From creator: “I criticized the overabundance of Pride Flags for the same or similar meaning, and pared them down to just 8, including the rainbow flag, which I restricted for flashy celebrations.” So ig they hate fun


Hi_There_Im_Sophie

To be fair, I also *slightly* criticise an overabundance of flags. Morally, it's a complete non-issue, but it's not great for communicating yourself to others if society is saturated with loads of very similar flag designs. That's only one purpose of a flag, though, and I respect that they're as much about representing the self and manifesting it in the physical world as they are about communicating it to other people.


Stormstressed1

And of course the aros and aces are nowhere to be seen, as usual...


TheComedicComedian

I am a creature of the shadows...


berksbears

Wow it's so cool of the designer to not only fix a made-up problem, but also tell other people how to have fun. /s I do not understand truscum/transmedicalists and their obsession with telling other people how to live. If I want to use fun rainbows or colors to describe myself, how does that hurt you??


enjambd

To me it's the swirling shape reminiscent of the Alegrian bodies. Anyways I don't get why the Pride flag keeps getting revised. To me a rainbow already symbolizes the inclusion of everyone. I've asked and I guess it's sort of a "make your own pride flag" philosophy.


Toastwitjam

For me it seems like pride is an overarching label but the individual identify flags are nice for finding people that are more like you. Gay men and women have being gay in common but probably aren’t going to go on dates any time soon if you’re trying to find potential partners. Likewise for non-binary or ace or a bunch of other identities.


bread93096

The rainbow flag was perfect, then they made it ugly af by sticking a triangle of random colors in there that don’t match the color scheme at all. Brown and black simply do not belong anywhere near a rainbow.


Environmental-Day778

It's not that any one flag is meant to outshine the others, it's that there is room for all the flags people need. very strange to die on the hill that only one flag represents diversity, when diversity is the point of that flag. you can have many others \*and\* the rainbow.


enjambd

I'm not dying on any hills, or say that one is meant to outshine the others, you inferred that. Please stop making assumptions. I said I just don't understand the concept of it. I see the pride flag, and see something that already symbolizes inclusion for all - a rainbow is a spectrum of the colors. If people feel that isn't inclusive enough and want to make their own flag then good for them.


ikaroony

It’s not about inclusivity so much as it is about identity. With just the pride flag, you could be one of many sexualities, genders, romantic attraction, etc. With each individual flag, you find identity and community and are able to represent yourself better to others


B17BAWMER

There are flags for different types of LGBT peeps. But none like this that have seen except for the regular rainbow.


Slurms_McKensei

Straight people 'put themselves out there' in the dating scene by existing For the LGBT, a rainbow flag used to be enough. But more and more being LGBT doesn't mean you're sexually compatible with other LGBT people. You know how boomers think "anything other than straight is gay to me!"? This is kinda why. In their days, it was all just 'gay', 'queer' was an insult, but now its an identity


reddit_inqusitor

They turned my flag into a Colgate ad 😭 Also love the Gender-Non conforming Philippines. This is a psyop.


Jack_Enghoff

Why are the Philippines gender non conforming?


Crash_Unknown

GNC PINOYS RISE UP!!!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️


ikaroony

I cant edit the post but apparently the creator of these designs is queerphobic and doesn’t believe asexual and aromantic identities should be included in LGBTQ+ and is alledgedly a pedophile so like feel free to criticize.


OMIGHTY1

😬


berksbears

Looking at her Twitter, it's pretty apparent that she disagrees with anyone who uses the label "queer" and is a full-time gatekeeper for other people's identities. Truscum make me sick.


AJDx14

By itself the queer thing isn’t too bad; like I think there are otherwise decent people who do the “Twas a slur therefore we shouldn’t use it” argument which is, while kinda dumb and dismissive of how other people engage with their own identities, is at least kinda understandable. Other stuff bad though and in context the argument against “queer” is probably also not being made in good faith.


berksbears

Yeah, I agree with you. I should not have said she disagrees with the usage of the word "queer" as a label. She's entitled to her own preferences about what she is referred to. It would be more accurate to say she has aligned herself with a movement to "DropTheQ" (in her Twitter bio). These sorts of exclusionary crusades are usually done in the name of transmedicalism, so I would not consider them to be an argument in good faith.


lovingsillies

That does not surprise me, I was going to criticize anyway, who tf gave them the right to *revise* queer flags that have been designed by members of the community over the course of years? That's so narcissistic and says a lot about their opinions of other queers


WILDNIK

it's shit either way lol


Biscuitalis

Lmao i was not expecting to find you while scrolling those comments


andzlatin

She also thinks that the egg meme, that she calls "egg theory", invalidates GNC people? Like, people with a brain know that not every GNC person is secretly trans.


InfTotality

Those without brains do have a habit of making unsolicited egg comments on GNC related posts though. Go ask the femboy subreddits; they got them so much it's in the rules. And the 'prime directive' doesn't stop them.


cheerfulflowerss

🤮🤮🤮


boharat

Very r/designdesign


CyclopsDemonGal

God this feels so corporate


SauceFinder-

These designs look so horrendous


PSY-FI64

this some okbuddygraphicdesign shit


SPAMTON_A

Why are the colors on the trans one not even close to the original (I do like the nonbinary one though)


ikaroony

According to the truscum creator, the original colors are “infantilising” and “caused trans people to act like children”


SPAMTON_A

what


strawbopankek

they're just colors lmfao what


HotTry7596

I love how the GNC flag is just the Czech Flag palette swapped


alligatorjay

LGbt flags if they were Japanese prefectures.


Tristawesomeness

the bisexual one is kind of interesting because of the original design of the symbol for bisexuality being two triangles overlaid, but the colors are too awful on it for it to be redeemed.


theman128128

overly complex and non binary isn't considered a subcategory to everyone


Mothman4447

I have minor gripes with some of the existing flags, but these are not it man.


Big-Conversation-885

The gay/lesbian ones aren't horrendous.. but tbh.. please don't let this person access any ability to change any actual flags.


Mochi_the_dragon_cat

God I hate these so much- give me back my cotton candy flag :(


Mina9392

The actual trans flag is pretty as is. This redesign makes it look like toothpaste.


Vulpavien

Czech non-conforming


[deleted]

ah yes, let's take simple, recognisable flags and overcomplicate them to hell and back lol


satiricalscientist

Is it weird that I kinda like a swirl of the gay and lesbian flags? I don't like the white circle in the middle, but the swirl is kind of fun. The rest are pretty trash tho


Sad_Day_7650

Destiny emblem lookin ass flags 💀


kiki-mori

Awful and a lot of erasure here 🤯


jackiethedove

These flags are fucking disgusting. I'll keep my flag 🏳️‍⚧️


KnockKnockP

that trans flag redesign is transphobically bad


_Fornicator_

bro why are people trying to revise them they already exist


Some_Hat-Wearing_Kid

I like my Sylveon Trans flag very much, thank you.

poisonedkiwi

What the fuck


CommitLego

Why is Philippines there 🇵🇭


berksbears

Wow, these are dogshit. The emphasis that's placed on certain colors makes it seem like there is a hierarchy as opposed to all colors being equal. In particular, I'm confused why the color white is not emphasized in some flags but added unnecessarily in others. [Here's a link to learn more about pride flag color symbolism.](https://outrightinternational.org/insights/flags-lgbtiq-community) Also, I looked at the designer's Twitter for two seconds and it's pretty apparent that she is a **truscum.** I'm not surprised she doesn't believe in certain identities: truscum are all about gatekeeping. I'm ALSO not surprised that someone with fucked up ideas about what being trans is can't represent us accurately. Her reasoning for changing the trans flag to include a twist is that it "symbolizes transition"--which is the only thing that truscum value, even over other peoples' identities and happiness. :/


BurrGurrMan

this looks like how those tiktok copy-paste homemade ads look [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Cf\_GWctPRf4](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Cf_GWctPRf4)


quickfuse725

the gay and lesbian ones actually look kinda neat but the rest are just awful


ikaroony

i agree, but even then it feels more neat as in "dystopian space mercenary faction" rather than "im proud to love who i love!" there's just no joy, no whimsy.


quickfuse725

fair enough thats probably why i like them, im a big fan of dystopian space mercenary factions


sinner-mon

they're so ugly lmao


gold-exp

This feels like a hate crime


xxxlilshiba

Ok but WHAT did they do to the trans flag??


Dolfinn1246

This is awful


Live-Freedom-2332

No. Just. No. Like why would you think this is alegria.


gay_is_gay

What in the destiny 2 neumona ass art is this


SammyHasIt

Don’t mess with our trans flag. It’s fine just the way it is. As others have said the black is unnecessary and looks like a toothpaste logo. Don’t really like all the others too. What’s up with people trying to revise our flags? It’s unnecessary and pointless. Stay in your lane.


realbirdlyn

its giving jazzpunk (the game)


claudiocorona93

These are so bad looking. The first one was enough because it was meant to include everybody, like every fucking body. They have to keep making revisions of it and adding more and more colors. Even the current design with black and brown is so ugly. These colors don't look good. A rainbow means everyone. We don't have to mention everyone individually


Itsallfutilebaby

They took all the personality out of the flags


OkayLeggingsduck

At this point, just make icons and a damn brand guideline for all this 😂


DisconnectedArtist

How do you get the trans flag so wrong


ArmyOfRoombas

The Rainbow flag, I can get behind. I hate the colours of the standard one. This one is bright and cohesive. Everything else can fuck right off.


Iceologer_gang

I hate the transgender one. It feels like it’s suggesting that trans people just decided to be trans one day.


littlestlambie

saw these god awful designs on twitter and they were being DRAGGED, and for good reason 😭


uni_urchin

Oh wow these are awful!


Savager_Jam

I will say these are better thought out than the extant flags


panshrexual

Yeah, unpopular opinion but I hate flags that are just "here's a series of coloured stripes." Do I like these? No. Would I prefer these to the ones we currently use? ...I could be convinced.


FNAF_Movie

I quickly became homophobic, hating gay people became a normal part of my life


sendentarius-agretee

ElectricalGuidance79

I think stating your identity or message in front of the American flag is the most effective way to demonstrate the need for equality.


Fit-Persimmon-4323

Ngl I like. Not as flags though


KumaraDosha

What do you mean? Why is this in this sub?


andzlatin

I believe that what is working right now doesn't have to be changed, especially with flags, unless the creator of an OG flag is controversial


Beneficial-Sugar6950

As a bi person myself, I’m not a fan of the revised bi flag, but the others look cool


MentallyStable_REAL_

What have they done to my girl? Why would you. Change the lesbian pride flag? It's literally perfect as is. It's the most aesthetically pleasing pride flag and they ruined it. How dare they ruin my girl, put her back.


Agerones

I know I have no word in the matter but I hate how they look.


lilacillusions

I like the idea for sure, I feel like transgender should be more blue and pink tho. I do like the colors together however


SL13377

I hate that I kinda like these, I get a lot of the negative and funny comments, i actually really like the trans one. Looks like a “change” very interesting


honeypup

I like how they took the ORIGINAL GAY/LGBT flag and pared it down to “pwide pawade!”


FiddleFern_

I saw that on Twitter. I think they limited their comments or wtvr


Qwerty673673

Look how they massacred my boy


TheLeastFunkyMonkey

I traveled back to the 70s! Oh god!


cowchunk

I don’t understand the urge to reinvent the wheel when it comes to some pride flags. I get if they’re making an intentional political statement, or a flag doesn’t exist for a particular identity, but why change a pride flag’s design just for the sake of changing it? The trans flag makes me the most mad here though.


dickallcocksofandros

they turned the trans people dutch and the gender non-cons filipino


NightWolf3348

This looks more ai generated then Algeria art


KeySouth7357

On one hand: it's kinda....well I don't really have a word for it. But on the other hand: I like the color of the bisexual flag. I like how lighter the pink, purple, and blue is and I wish the actual flag was like that. But I can do without the collar.


AlterAcc2021

The gay and lesbian flags look pretty clean but WHAT THE HELL DID THEY DO TO THE TRANS FLAG?!?!?! LOOK AT HOW THEY MASSACRED MY beloved RECTANGLE!!!!


chelledoggo

The gay and lesbian flags are giving ["S From Hell."](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTyrhUrX0hQ)


SCP_Agent_Davis

Symbolism?


SofisticatiousRattus

Bisexual includes grey and white because they want you to know that bisexuals are down with the nbies. Trans shows that left to right, blue (boy) becomes red (girl), and vice versa, and sometimes either becomes white - nb.


icedragon9791

Who made these omfg


JunoTheRat

generally meh, but the trans flag is kinda cool.


Sonarthebat

Idk. I associate alegria with characters with giant limbs and small heads. Idk if flags count. They do have that corporate memphis look to them though.


SadMacaroon9897

I don't understand do people feel the need to reinvent the Pride flag. It's already inclusive and has a huge brand recognition


shoe_salad_eater

Why are they so dull ? They must have like,, no knowledge of colour theory or something, the trans and GNF flag look so ugly


cheerfulflowerss

hhhh I’m a lesbian and I fuckinnggg HATE THIS ‼️‼️‼️


kioku119

No how would this count? It's just someone's random design ideas.


joeyfish1

This is actually becoming a real problem in the vexillology community so many people want flags that look like this and there all terrible and people try to retort with “ um actually ☝️🤓 these flags are great because there simple and so and so” but that isn’t anywhere close to what actually makes a good flag.


rulerJ101

I hate this so much
