A student has come up with an international flag of earth and we think it’s pretty cool.
Made up of seven white rings in an interlocking pattern on a blue background, it may be used in the future as we earthlings go on to colonise other planets.
It has been proposed by Oskar Pernefeldt from Beckmans University of Design in Stockholm, Sweden.
Here’s the thinking behind the design: ‘Centred in the flag, seven rings form a flower – a symbol of the life on Earth. The rings are linked to each other, which represents how everything on our planet, directly or indirectly, are linked.
‘The blue field represents water which is essential for life – also as the oceans cover most of our planet’s surface. The flower’s outer rings form a circle which could be seen as a symbol of Earth as a planet and the blue surface could represent the universe.’
