Flag 2004 world

Summary

Description

English: The image is of a flag representing the whole world. The flag has an overall dimensional ratio of width: three, and length: five. It consists of a field of blue (web color #0000CC definitive, PMS Blue 072 C suggested), in the center of which is a circular ideographic symbol for the Earth as the flag's charge. The diameter of the charge is two-fifths of the flag’s horizontal length. The symbol depicts a stylized cartographic projection (Nicolosi globular) and is rendered in white curves (web color #FFFFFF) over the field of blue. The thickness of each of the curves of the charge—a circle surrounding four circular arcs and two line segments, all suggesting various latitudes and longitudes—is one-twentieth of its overall diameter. (See construction sheet.)

current	12:26, 2 November 2024	1,000 × 600 (3 KB)	Pkanella	Reverted to version as of 15:52, 13 February 2023 (UTC) I now believe this version's proportionality is superior.
	17:11, 1 November 2024	1,000 × 600 (4 KB)	Pipcallas	I increased the thickness of the white lines, for proportionality and for greater visibility at a distance.
	15:52, 13 February 2023	1,000 × 600 (3 KB)	Pipcallas	I improved the accuracy even more.
	17:13, 25 January 2023	1,000 × 600 (3 KB)	Pipcallas	Saved as "Plain SVG"—(more accurate than "Optimized SVG").
	10:03, 9 January 2023	1,000 × 600 (6 KB)	Pkanella	I improved the accuracy even more.
	02:18, 8 January 2023	1,000 × 600 (6 KB)	Pipcallas	I improved the accuracy slightly.
	11:10, 14 July 2021	1,000 × 600 (6 KB)	Pipcallas	I simplified the cartographic projection to Nicolosi globular.
	06:18, 22 March 2018	1,000 × 600 (3 KB)	Pkanella	I aligned the latitudes and longitudes to a map projection for the most accurate version I can manage.
	00:33, 22 March 2018	1,000 × 600 (3 KB)	Pkanella	Reverted to version as of 22:34, 9 March 2018 (UTC) The subsequent version turned out to be less accurate.
	00:17, 19 March 2018	1,000 × 600 (4 KB)	Pkanella	I further improved the accuracy of the placement of the lines.
