Brainstorm: One World Flag

1. The average flag has about 3 colours. Characteristics of flags include colours that contrast well with each other, such as the French flag or the German flag. Colours do not blend with each other. Many flags hold animals and nature in them, others are based around simple shapes and colours. The most notable shapes are rectangles and circles. In order to make a realistic flag using stars or stripes I'll have to turn up the contrast until the stars have completely lost any tones. The milky way may be difficult to incorporate unless I can somehow make the characteristic swirl into a simple shape.

Universal

Together

Complete


Undivided

I'm going to have a dark blue circle in the center that contains the world countries, the outline of the countries are going to be there but replacing the solid ground will be the stars of our sky. Might even change it to the Milky Way to represent ourselves. On the top left will be our sun peeking out and the background will be green, possibly cut into the basic outline of our countries to drive the fact home. It depends on how cluttered it will look.
Kudos to Brazil for making a great, inspirational flag.
