Summary

Description

English: Terra Flag: the image is of a flag meant to represent the Earth. The flag has an overall dimensional ratio of width: three, and length: five. It consists of a field of white (HTML #FFFFFF), in the center of which is a circular ideographic symbol for the Earth as the flag’s charge. The ideogram depicts a stylized Nicolosi globular cartographic projection and is rendered in white lines (HTML #FFFFFF) with the spaces among the lines colored either blue (HTML #0000FF, PMS 2736 C) or green (HTML #00AA00, PMS 2423 C) to suggest a crude map of the Earth above the Atlantic Ocean. The diameter of the charge is 2/5 of the flag’s total length. The thickness of the charge’s lines is 1/24 of its diameter. Whenever the flag is displayed vertically with only one side visible, the obverse side is shown, with the hoist at the top. The image was created using Inkscape.
