Anonymous asked: can I just say THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD VEXILLOLOGY POSTS! i don’t know all that much about graphic design but the fact that most pride flags are just stripe stacks is starting to drive me up the wall, not to mention some of the really ridiculous stuff (I found a flag the other day that involved 4 shades of pink and *transparency* and died a little inside)
Very_Dumb.png. A flag made of a black field, with a blue diagonal bar, and a centered, transparent punch-out in the shape of a diamond. The dashboard probably makes it look white, but it’s transparent.
This is simultaneously the greatest and worst thing I’ve ever made in my life.
On the one had, it’s an abomination.
On the other hand, technically speaking, there is nothing about this that could not easily–trivially–be re-created in fabrics. As long as the transparent section is sufficiently simple, such that the hems could be adequately re-enforced, there’s no reason you couldn’t treat it like any other emblem.
Oh my god, I feel like I’ve ascended to some kind of higher plane of existence.
I mean, we put transparent windows in money, we know it can be done… Clear vinyl is absolutely a thing, and it’s relatively easy to source for most people…
Holy shit.
I’m losing my goddamn mind.
What the fuck?
?????
?????????
That said, I don’t trust the people who run around making palette flags to use this terrible, awesome power responsibly. I can already see the semi-transparent gradients from here, and it’s horrifying.
