FAQ

How am I allowed to use the flag?

1. REPRESENTATION
   The flag is to be used to represent the astronomical body of planet Earth (not your business, your mission, your brand, or yourself).
   
   

2. DESIGN
   The original flag ratio is 2:3, however, the rectangular shape of the design may vary depending on its usage (i.e. circular, square, triangular, etc.). In all cases, keep colors and the emblem design intact.

Am I allowed to change color / form / design of the flag?

No changes to the emblem design or colors are allowed. However, the shape may vary. Please honor the original proposal of The International Flag of Planet Earth.

Who holds the copyright to the flag?

The creator and chief designer, Oskar Pernefeldt, holds the copyrights to the proposed The International Flag of Planet Earth. The reason for this is simple; to protect the integrity of the flag as it is introduced to the public domain. Just as a national flag of any kind is protected by the government agencies behind its creation, we have chosen to keep it this way for the same purpose.

Can I use the flag in my logo?

We do not agree with anyone using the flag as their personal or business trademark/logo. The reason for this is simple. The flag represents planet Earth, not a business, brand or person.

You are allowed to integrate the flag/symbol into your logo, to make a connection to Earth (as the flag is a symbol for Earth) - but using the flag simply as your logo is not.

Can I use the flag for commercial use?

The simple answer is yes, you are allowed to use The International Flag of Planet Earth for commercial use. However, the usage must align with the INTENTION (using the flag while representing planet Earth - not your business, your mission, your brand, or yourself) and DESIGN (the flag is featured as designed; keep colors and emblem design intact).

We appreciate you considering supporting the IFOPE-O efforts in awareness creation around the flag, by donating to our mission if you are financially benefitting from selling goods with the flag.

Music videos / Films / other Media

You are allowed to include the flag in your creative projects. Be mindful that the usage needs to align with the INTENTION (using the flag while representing planet Earth - not your business, your mission, your brand, or yourself) and DESIGN (the flag is featured as designed; keep colors and emblem design intact).
