I personally don't see why a flag should give an immediate impression
of language - practically no flag in the world gives an immediate
impression of its subject matter.

But yes, by all means let's hear different opinions and suggestions.

The red, black and yellow is also the same colours as the Australian
Aboriginal flag (which I suggest is more famous than the anarchist
flag, though I may be biased on that point :-) ). This is neither a
good thing or a bad one. Anyway, I've changed the red to purple.

My submission is now fully documented at

people have ideas, I am willing to host them (you can email them to
me).
