In May, 2015, the Swedish artist, Oskar Pernefeldt, officially proposed the International Flag of the Planet Earth. It was conceived to be used in space expeditions and it has two main purposes:


  1. To be used while representing planet Earth.
  2. To remind the people of Earth that we share this planet, no matter of national boundaries. That we should take care of each other and the planet we live on.

The creators predict that it will be eventually used in Mars landing in 2025 or in a future colony on that planet. The design of the flag consists of seven rings intersecting each other and a deep-blue-sea in the background. The rings are centered on the flag forming a flower in the middle, representing life on Earth. The intersection of the rings represent that all things on Earth are linked directly or indirectly. Finally, the deep-blue represents the ocean and the importance of water for life on Earth.
