[Image Description: A set of 8 square images. All text is in lowercase letters, excluding a small part in the second image.
Image 1: A square image with a black background. In the middle of the image is the outline of a pink square with parts of the top middle and bottom middle of the square cut out. At the top middle of the square outline is centered big, bold white text which reads “we asked whether you’d be”, followed by bold pink text which reads “open...”. Beneath the text and inside the middle of the outline of the square is a big white infinity heart symbol. Beneath the symbol is bold pink text which reads “...to a polyamorous pride flag”, followed by bold white text which reads “without this symbol.” At the bottom middle of the square outline is smaller, bold pink text which reads “here’s what you told us.” Directly under the text is a white arrow pointing towards the right. At the bottom center of the image is the “@polyamproud” watermark with the polycule symbol next to it in pink.
Image 2: The left 1/3rd of the image is a black box. At the top of the image is big, bold left-aligned text in pink which reads “some of you were”, followed by white text which reads “not open to the idea.” At the very bottom of the black box is small italicized, left-aligned white text which reads “some comments lightly edited for grammar & clarity.” The remaining 2/3rds of the image is seperated into 6 squares. Each square has the ‘closing quotation mark’ symbol (”) in a big, bold font in the background and a quoted comment in the foreground. The quoted comments are all in centered, bold black text. Starting from the top square and going left to right.
Square 1 is white and the text inside reads “i personally really like the infinity heart, i think it’s good symbolism for infinite love.”
Square 2 is pink and the text inside reads “not really. i really like the infinity heart, it wouldn’t be the same without the gold symbol.”
Square 3 is pink and the text inside reads “i love the reminder of the abundance mindset. it steers me back on the path.”
Square 4 is white and the text inside reads “the infinity heart is the only polyam symbol i’ve ever seen that felt representative of me. please keep it.”
Square 5 is white and the text inside reads “INFINITY HEART IS NECESSARY!!!! PLEASE DON’T CHANGE THAT FEATURE.”
Square 6 is pink and the text inside reads “i like the infinity heart. it shows the abundance of love, rather than a scarcity as many think.”
At the bottom right corner is white text which reads “2/8”, indicating the image number. At the very bottom center is the “@polyamproud” watermark with the polycule symbol beside it in pink.
Image 3: The top 1/3rd of the image is a black box. Inside the black box is big, bold centered text in pink which reads “many are curious to see other options.”
The remaining 2/3rds of the image is seperated into 6 squares. Each square has the ‘closing quotation mark’ symbol (”) in a big, bold font in the background and a quoted comment in the foreground. The quoted comments are all in centered, bold black text. Starting from the top square and going left to right. All squares, excluding one of them, have a white background.
Square 1 reads “the infinity heart is a good symbol for polyamory but i’m curious what the alternatives are!”
Square 2 reads “i love the symbol but it’s not ours... i want one that says nothing but non-monogamy.”
Square 3 reads “there are many ways we could be represented and i’m open to learn about other possibilities.”
Square 4 reads “infinity heart makes perfect sense, but it’s okay if it’s any good symbol. i just hate the old colours.”
Square 5 has a white background with a pink circle overlayed on top of it. The text in the square reads “sure, we can still use the symbol but it’s ok if it’s not on the flag.”
Square 6 reads “i quite like the infinity heart, but it’s not a requirement! i am open to anything inclusive for all of us.”
At the bottom right corner is pink text which reads “3/8”, indicating the image number. At the very bottom center is the “@polyamproud” watermark with the polycule symbol beside it in pink.
Image 4: In the middle of the image is a black circle. Near the top of the circle is the ‘closing quotation mark’ symbol (”) in bold, pink font. Beneath the quotation mark is big, centered white text which reads “yes. symbols evolve.” The rest of the image surrounding the circle is seperated in three layers. The top part is pink, the middle part is in white and the bottom part is in pink. Each layer has several quoteted comments inside. Each comment has the ‘closing quotation mark’ symbol (”) in big, bold font set in the background behind the comment.
The comments are all in bold black text.
Comment 1 reads “absolutely. if something else holds the infinite love vibe and is less awkward, bring it!!!!!”
Comment 2 reads “i’d prefer the infinity heart, but would be open to not if it were a really good design.”
Comment 3 reads “i’m open to the idea. if there’s a better way to represent polyamory, why not consider it?”
Comment 4 reads “i like it as a symbol, but the symbol doesn’t have to be on the flag.”
Comment 5 reads “the infinity heart is great but other symbols can be great too.”
Comment 6 reads “i think i feel attached to the infinity sign but not necessarily the combo of the infinity to the heart.”
Comment 7 reads “potentially, but i hope the infinity heart still remains a polyamorous symbol!”
Comment 8 reads “purely depends on what the alternative designs are, i’d prefer if there’s some distinct symbol though.”
At the bottom right corner is pink text which reads “4/8”, indicating the image number. At the very bottom center is the “@polyamproud” watermark with the polycule symbol beside it in gray.
Image 5: The image is seperated in two parts. The left half is pink and takes up slightly more than half of the image. The remaining right part is in white.
The white part contains big bold, left-aligned black text which reads “many of you had interesting cases against the infinity heart.”
The pink part contains four different quotes each with an accompanying ‘closing quotation mark’ symbol (”) in big, bold font set in the background at the right behind the comment. Each comment is in bold, centered black font.
The first quote reads “defnitely open to it. i don’t think the infinity heart represents all polyam people.” Beneath the first quote is a horizontal line taking up 1/4th of the width of the pink side of the image.
The second quote reads “the infinity sign is a bit of an overkill when we talk about polyamorous love.” Beneath the first quote is a horizontal line taking up 2/4th of the width of the pink side of the image.
The third quote reads “i’m indifferent to the infinity heart because it feels outdated and too literal.” Beneath the first quote is a horizontal line taking up 3/4th of the width of the pink side of the image.
The fourth quote reads “yes, infinity = forever but some relationships are meaningful but don’t last forever.”
At the bottom right corner is a horizontal pink line. Beneath it is pink text which reads “5/8”, indicating the image number. At the very bottom right is the “@polyamproud” watermark with the polycule symbol beside it in gray.
Image 6: The image is seperated into three layers, which all vary in height. The first layer is black, the second layer is pink and the third layer is black. At the left side of the image is a thin black vertical line coming from the bottom half of the image and overlapping with the different layers. At the right side of the image is a white circle overlapping with the first two layers. On top of the white circle at the very right side is a ‘closing quotation mark’ symbol (”) in big, bold pink font with part of the symbol sitting outside the circle. Inside the circle is a quoted comment in bold, centered black font which reads “the infinity heart isn’t a good fit for the flag because it stands for infinite love, which can mean something different to everybody.” There are several more comments quoted across the rest of the image. Each quote has it’s own ‘closing quotation mark’ symbol (”) acompanying it in the background.
The first quote is in bold, left-aligned pink text which reads “infinity heart could mean forever which i don’t believe in.”
The second quote is in bold, left-aligned black text which reads “sure. i don’t think polyam love is infinite for everyone.”
The third quote is in bold, left-aligned white text which reads “yes, the heart feels a little “over the top.” i actually also really liket the pi, but only the colours would also work.”
The fourth quote is in bold, centered pink text which reads “it’s been used by monogamous people, who get tattoos of it to commemorate parents, kids, etc.”
At the bottom right corner is gray text which reads “6/8”, indicating the image number. Next to it is the “@polyamproud” watermark with the polycule symbol beside it in gray.
Image 7: The image has a white background. At the left side of the image is a vertical black line. At the top left of the image is a pink circle overlapping with the vertical line. Inside the circle is bold, left-aligned text which reads “dozens of you replied with thoughtful reasons to leave the infinity heart off the polyamorous pride flag.” To the right are two quoted comments. Each comment has a small black ‘closing quotation mark’ symbol (”) slightly above the right side of the quote. Both of the quotes are right-aligned and in black text. The first one reads “i don’t see it as a necessary part of polyamorous identity.” Beneath this quote is a thin horizontal pink line to seperate it from the second quote. The second quote reads “yes. everyone likes an infinity heart. it’s no longer distinct.”
At the bottom half of the image is a pink box, spanning over the entire width of the image. In the background and at the very right side of the box is the ‘closing quotation mark’ symbol (”) in a big, bold font. In the foreground is another quoted comment. The comment is in bold, centered white text which reads “a beauty of polyamory is knowing that not everyone in your life will move parallel to you forever.” At the bottom right corner is pink text which reads “7/8”, indicating the image number. In the bottom center is the “@polyamproud” watermark with the polycule symbol beside it in pink.
Image 8: The image is seperate in different boxes, all varying in width and height. In the very middle is a white box with an enlarged, black polycule symbol in it that is going slightly out of the box. In the middle of the polycule are the five associated words to represent each of the hearts that make up the polycule. Each word has a curved arrow pointing to one of the hearts. The words, going from top to bottom, read: “love”, ”openness”, “honesty”, “commitment”, “consent”.
The remaining boxes are all in pink and have quoted comments inside of them, excluding the last box in the bottom right corner. Each of the boxes with a quote inside also has a ‘closing quotation mark’ symbol (”) in the left side of the background. Each of these quotes is in bold, centered black text. Going from left to right the comments are:
Comment 1 reads “honestly i like the heart logo y’all use for this page better than the infinity heart.”
Comment 2 reads “it’s definitely not my favorite. i love the 5 hearts ‘clover’ kind of design though.”
Comment 3 reads “i love your 5 heart symbol more than an infinity heart symbol.”
Comment 4 reads “open to others, but i do also love the infinity heart. love your five hearts too tho!”
Comment 5 reads “in my opinion the polycule or the infinity heart are the best symbols, so not other symbols.”
Comment 6 reads “yes! besides, some monogamous people already us the infinity heart. (i love your heart design, btw!!).”
Comment 7 reads “the infinity heart is outdated and not at ALL aesthetically pleasing. your symbol is.”
Comment 8 reads “i love the five hearts so much more.”
Comment 9 reads “i don’t like the infinity heart honestly! i like the polycule ya’ll made!”
The final box in the bottom right corner is in black and has big bold, right-aligned pink text which reads “y’all just had to go & make us blush.” Beneath it is the “@polyamproud” watermark with the polycule symbol beside it in gray.
Thanks to my buddy Robert for inspiring me to make this t-shirt design! I love that it can both be referring to your partners or just WHOEVER you’re surrounded by. I like the latter because I’m with all of you <3

Ok guys, so the V-neck tees didn't reach their goal in time and the orders I did get were cancelled, but I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of how this actually works so I've relaunched the campaign with a longer running time and more style options to choose from within the campaign so it may appeal to a wider range of people. Instead of running the campaign for three days, I'm running it for fourteen, and I set a lower goal... I only need to sell three shirts in order for Teespring to print and ship orders this time! You will not be charged for your order unless the campaign makes it's goal.
If you would like to make an order (ie. reservation) or remake one if you made one on the V-neck tee and were cancelled on, the new link is here.
