File:Democratic Socialism Flag.svg

English: The image is of a flag representing democratic socialism. The triband flag has an overall dimensional ratio of width: two, and length: three. The field consists of three broad vertical bands of equal width. The blue bands on either side (web color #0000AA, PMS Blue 072 C) may symbolize ignorance or privilege, while the white band in the middle (web color #FFFFFF) may symbolize illumination. The central charge, contained entirely within the white band, consists of a left anterior fist clutching a rose by its stem. The fist is centered, its width one half that of the band, its forearm emerging from the band’s bottom edge. Intended to symbolize the working class, the fist and forearm together are black (web color #000000, PMS Black 6 C) at the top, fading gradually to white (web color #FFFFFF) at the bottom, as if illuminated from below. The rose, meant to symbolize socialism, has an orthogonal width three fourths that of the white band and points diagonally toward the upper hoist. Its calyx, leaf, and stem are green (web color #00AA00, PMS 2272 C) and its petals red (web color #FF0000, PMS 2347 C). The details of the rose and fist are described by white outlines (web color #FFFFFF), each line having a width 1/192nd of the flag’s overall horizontal length. Precise graphical shapes for the fist, arm, and rose are not strictly mandated, with stylistic variations being permissible. Whenever the flag is displayed vertically with only one side visible, the obverse side is shown, with the hoist at the top. The above image was created using Inkscape and is in the public domain.
