I really don’t like the design of the progress pride flag, and I couldn’t really put my finger on it until I saw this: https://nava.org/good-flag-bad-flag

For reference, here is the flag I’m referencing as “bad flag”:

And here is the original:

So, the original has too many colors, but it’s the colors of the rainbow. In order. It’s recognizable from really far away, and it’s dead simple to draw.

With the Intersex flag, that’s 14 colors. There are three shades of “purple”. The circle won’t be visible from far away. The chevrons are too thin to be very recognizable from far away.

It’s not like there aren’t good pride flags. Like there are AMAZING ones:

Edit:

        Not sure why you would ask that. I’m responding to this claim:

        It was meant to include everyone under the rainbow so trans people and others are already included.

            I’m responding to the claim that everyone on the progress flag is already included on the pride flag. I am not expressing an opinion about whether a flag should or should not represent whatever group of people. Am I wrong that the person I am responding to implied that this?
