Vector graphics are awesome for obvious reasons: mostly infinite resolution. I just wanted to share my Celtic sisterhood knot because it was very hard to make and it took hours. I’m new to Inkscape, so I wonder if there was an easier way I could have made it.

Bonus: Planet Flags

I’m also making planet flags for a personal project, which is why I made the knot.

United Earth Flag

  • Inspired by Thomas Mandl’s One World Flag
    • Dude really missed the opportunity to color the Earth with a pale blue instead of just blue
  • The Pale Blue Dot: Earth, as seen from the rest of the universe
    • Serene and peaceful
  • The Moon, Luna, the sole, beloved companion of Earth (scaled proportionally)
  • Two obelisks/satellites/spaceships reaching out to the rest of the universe
  • Transparent background representing the all-encompassing unity of the Unified Earth

Martian Flag

  • Mars, the dusty-red circle, scaled proportionally to the Earth flag
  • The Celtic sisters’ or sisterhood knot: signifying proximity and unity; Mars being designated as the “sister” of Earth
  • Also has a transparent background as homage and tradition for other planet flags
