I'm not sure if it's been done before, but I thought we should have a flag design in case the man tries to take our ecigs away!
What do you think?
imgur: the simple image sharer
I like your image and I think that particular logo would work better on a t-shirt or a bumper sticker than a flag. In my mind, a flag should embody a meme that is neither inflammatory nor confrontational yet expresses solidarity. I also like the pumping fist of .................. (reminiscent of the symbology used in the palestinian fight for freedom), but even that would be IMO too potentially incendiary for a flag. You are right though. The community needs a simple, effective visual that it can agree on.
An example of what works might be the only really pervasive (and therefore successful) recent flag I can think of off the top of my head -- the Gay Pride Rainbow flag. Everybody knows what that means. It doesn't have any provocative content, visual or otherwise... it hardly has content at all. Yet it expresses a simple, positive sentiment. Maybe we should think along those lines for a pro-
vaping visual.
