Okay, so I did something I haven't done before and might not do again and redesigned an Aspec flag, I'll get into why in a moment.
The Original Flag(s)
Ansexual and Anromantic respectively
Someone who lacks attraction and interest in sex or romance in any form and are repulsed by the concepts, regardless of whether or not it is related to them. This repulsion is typically strong enough to described as hatred.
Note: This hatred is directed towards the concepts of sex and romance, not the individuals themselves who partake in them, and it is very different from sex negativity.
The Redesigns
Version 1
Version 2
Ansexual, Anrose/Anaroace (added), and Anromantic (unchanged) respectively
Now I'm going to explain why I made these redesigns to begin with, as well as the reasonings behind each design, under the cut.
If you have any question, please read through in case it's already been answered before asking.
Why redesign the flags?
Simply enough, I found it strange that the Anromantic flag reflected the Aro flag while the Ansexual flag didn't. I also designed an Anrose/Anaroace flag, as I couldn't find one.
Why are there two versions?
In all honesty, I'm about as decisive as a toddler, so I just figured I'd post both and see which one people like better.
What is the meaning behind the designs?
Version 1 was made with the Original Ansexual flag in mind, I wanted to keep some of it if possible.
Version 2 was made based off of the Original Anromantic flag, I felt it felt a little more connected to the Aro community through the colors than the Ansexual one did to the Ace.
What is the meaning behind the colors?
I couldn't find any meaning by the original creators, so I interpreted the purple, blue, and green to be representive of community and varied experiences, and the reds as dislike and repulsion. The black feels representative of the hatred for the concepts.
I didn't create the original flags, so of course that's only my interpretation, and then one I made the redesigns with in mind.
In the case of Version 2, it's very similar, only the repulsion and dislike is also covered under the black stripe.
Your Version 2 Anromantic flag isn't a redesign
I'm aware, and that's because Version 2 was based off of the Original Anromantic flag rather than made with it in mind. I personally find it connects better with the Aro community than the Ansexual one does with the Ace one.
I like the originals more
That's perfectly alright! Use whichever looks or feels best to you! I only made these to throw more options on the table!
