Re: LIKE!

Thank you!

That's a great compliment.

It also breaks a couple rules of vexillology (flag design), as well. But the "Disability community" is so broad and diverse, something had to give, if the flag were to be inclusive and meaningful for all ('cause if it isn't, there's no point).

Another thing to like about the simplicity is that it would be easy to do up as embroidery or applique. :-)

...Or with colored duct-tape and black poster board bought on the fly from the DIY store the night before a rally, for your picket sign or sandwich board ;-)

I actually did this in MS Paint, with only the rectangle and straight line tool (and copy/paste/flip horizontal). The fussiest part of the design was figuring out the proportions (the angles, and lengths of the zigs vs. zags). But I figure if people don't get the proportions exactly right, the image is distinctive enough to still be recognizable.
