After reading about The Black Triangle campaign in Britain, I agreed [personal profile] spiralsheep's point that it should somehow be included.

At first, I thought of doing a white flag with the black triangle in the canton (upper corner, where the stars are in the U.S. flag), with the colored lightning band coming out of it -- like a rainbow through a prism.

But then, the massacre at Tsukui Yamiyuri-en happened, and I realized that if a white version of flag were on a flag pole when the wind wasn't blowing, it would look just like a surrender flag -- and: oh, HELL NO!

When I sat down at the computer to draw this flag for [livejournal.com profile] naarmamo, I tried putting the black triangle inside a white circle inside the canton. But then, trying to fit the rest of the design into field, so that it's clear and legible on a small scale was becoming a real headache.

And the first principle of good flag design is: Keep it Simple.
