I like the idea to have a symbol to unite the world under one flag. The blue dot seems to make sense as it represents the world without focusing on one perspective or projection of the world map. The transparent background also makes sense for the flag, but I think it would be more recognizable if it was just a white background (in my mind the default flag background). Also it seems to me transparent materials are in…
