I’ve gotten two comments so far saying that the purple ring I used is similar to the intersex ring - no one intersex has asked me to take it down or told me off for it, so this is more just trying to be sensitive to that. I’m not intersex, I simply forgot that the intersex flag had a purple circle in it and while I made sure the purple was specific to the asexual flag and not the intersex flag, I am releasing this alternative design wherein asexuality is represented by a black ring in all the representations and a purple line through the center. Perhaps this is ultimately a better representation - I find it difficult to see the purple, but we all have varying levels of color sensitivity and ultimately the ring in my original design was supposed to represent the black ring worn by asexuals.
So here’s my new design. I think I’ll get a public dropbox or something to hold all the varying designs because there are a lot and only increasing in number as the days go on.

First Row
The first picture is the AroAce full flag - a stylized arrow with a dark green arrow head, a lighter green shaft, and three levels of feathers (the closest to the arrow head is white, then gray, and the farthest is black; the arrow is going through a ring - traveling from the background towards foreground and pointed downwards - and the ring is black with a purple strip going through the center.
Second Row
There are two pictures in the second row.
The first is the Ace-Grayaro - the same stylized arrow in grayscale, the head and shaft are a medium gray while the feathers are a lighter gray; the arrow is traveling through a ring (back to foreground) and the ring is black with a purple stripe through the center.
The second is the Aro-Grayace - the same stylized arrow with a dark green head and shaft and light green feathers; it is traveling through a ring (back to foreground) and the ring is in grayscale, black with a dark gray stripe through the center.
Third Row
There are two pictures in the third row.
The first is the Grayaroace - the same stylized arrow in grayscale, the head and shaft are a medium gray while the feathers are a lighter gray; it is traveling through a ring (back to foreground) and the ring is in grayscale, black with a dark gray stripe through the center.
The second is the Aroace purple and green - the same stylized arrow with a dark green head and shaft and light green feathers; the arrow is traveling through a ring (back to foreground) and the ring is black with a purple stripe through the center.
Fourth Row
There are two pictures in the fourth row.
Both pictures are representative of Quoiromantic-Asexuals and I call them my Quoiroace symbols.
The first image - the same stylized arrow with a bright blue shaft, a bright green head, and three levels of feather tufts (the level closest to the arrow head is white on both sides, the middle tuft is gray on the top of the arrow and bright green underneath to acknowledge that the Quoiromantic flag doesn’t have all three of the shared stripes - it is missing the gray - and the farthest tuft from the head is black on both sides); the arrow is traveling through a ring (back to foreground) and the ring is black with a purple stripe through the center.
The second image - the same stylized arrow with a bright blue shaft and head and three levels of feather tufts (the level closest to the arrow head is white on both sides, the middle tuft is gray on the top of the arrow and bright green underneath to acknowledge that the Quoiromantic flag doesn’t have all three of the shared stripes - it is missing the gray - and the farthest tuft from the head is black on both sides); the arrow is traveling through a ring (back to foreground) and the ring is black with a purple stripe through the center.]
