My take on the aspec flag!

[ID: A flag with 6 horizontal stripes, divided in four sections by a white compass rose in the middle of the flag. Each section has 3 stripes that form a gradient that gets darker towards the middle of the flag. Clockwise, the sections are in red, green, blue, and purple hues. /End ID]ALT

The ‘main’ aspec flag only includes the ace and aro spectrums, and I didn’t find any inclusive flag I liked, so I made my own. This flag focuses on the diversity of the a-spectrum.

Symbolism:

  • None of the colors have meaning on their own. The dark purple and dark green are taken from the most used flag, just a little fun fact.
  • The colors are separated in different sections because the a-spectrum is vast and individuals within it can have wildly different experiences while still being under the same umbrella.
  • But they’re also grouped in gradients, because multiple different ‘colors’, or individuals, can still belong in the same space and have similar experiences!
  • The white compass rose is a tribute to the most used flag; it still represents how different individuals feel or don’t feel attraction.
  • However, I also kept it white because for some, white is the absence of hue or saturation, representing a lack of attraction, and for others, it’s what you get when you combine every color, representing wholeness even without ‘traditional’ colors.

Context: Aspec refers to asexual spectrum.
