Transparency in a flag is new to me. It's surprisingly effective here. Could this be done with just cloth without synthetics by using thinner threads or thread count?

Love the idea. But the transparency :( It makes the whole flag low contrast, an undesirable quality in flags.

I don't like the color blue. Can we change it?

but that's the wrong shade of blue? It'd have been great if they took the colour from "The blue marble" instead of this Turbo Pascal blue.

Blue needs to be paler, and the dot smaller ;-)

Can’t wait for CGP Grey’s review of this flag

So this is effectively the Esperanto of flags?

Judging by the comments here, the 1worldflag should have been a picture of two people arguing.

Esperanto flag.

Add a favicon for your website, a blue dot is a no-brainer here.

This will be needed for the galactic civil wars that will soon take place.

What if we took Japan’s flag, imagined it printed on paper, but made the dot blue?

Very cool, hard to beat the Earthican flag though https://theinfosphere.org/images/1/17/Earth_Flag.svg
