I'm of the opinion that transhumanism is far too broad of an ideal to be meaningfully represented via a singular flag. Transhumanists tend to hold wildly different ideas of what transhumanism represents and what paths, if any, one should take to fulfill the ideal.

Having said that, I'd say that metallic colors, especially copper and steel, are your best bet, and that something inspired by the vitruvian man but subdivided into various proposed methods of human transcension may serve well as a symbol.

This is what GPT-4 generated

Needs an infinity sign : https://transhumanistes.com/en-2021-jagis/

Also the color grey is good. Symbolizes longevity (grey panthers movement) and technology / brain (grey matter).

white infinity sign on a dark green background!

I’m thinking something to symbolize the fusion of technology and biology. Like a circuit board with double helix from DNA incorporated into the design.

It could be a QR code that definitely doesn’t link to a Rick Roll.

reading through this thread, and taking their ideas, here are some simple template designs someone could probably do a lot with.

White background with a black rectangle in the center, and a white infinity logo would look incredible.

Two right triangles of white/gray could also be a good idea with the theme.

No humans

Some ideas: Vitruvian man but-half machine half-man, half-skull half-gears, infinity sign, sign of the atom. These have all been done to some degree. I think maybe the Greek Theta letter (Theta cause it is pronounced TH and has both T for trans and H for humanist within it, also math and engineering related, usual sign for any unknown angle) would be a good choice, or the Greek letter H which kinda looks like X (Unknown variable, but also extreme, but also humanist, also math and science related).

Just go through some images of transhumanist science fiction and you will find some symbols there you should use.

You are not restricted to the usual flag shape..

Keep it simple, a steel cog on a green background

🖖🖖

I feel like it should be whatever the opposite of a flag is. Maybe a flag with a picture of a flag and a red X over it.

Robert Anton Wilson’s face

Robot 🤖 

The "genestrand" double helix as infinity symbol, with a mechanical counterpart.

Whatever it will be it should have a reference to an injection guy /s

Simple is best

A simple black image of a human hand, spread, displaying all fingers.

In copper, a second, seperate, equal sized thumb-like prosthetic attaches near the pinky, creating balance, on green background.

Creates symmetry, highlights both the human root of the movement while also drawing focus to a shared goal to enhance and improve the human experience. As we have been doing since the bronze age.

Genos from one punch man would be dope

Integrate the following >, the symbol for fe/male, +

Here's my design for a transhumanist flag for the US: Electric blue H+ symbol on top of a bigger monad (symbol of Technocracy), surrounded by a grey gear on top of a red star. Put this design in the top-left corner. Have the red and white stripes of the US flag changed to green and black (I thought about using red and grey but ultimately settled on this). Of course, this is only my interpretation, flag designs will vary. I also made an approximation of this design using Google Slides and an assortment of PNGs on the internet. Feedback on this design will be respected and considered.

Who are we kidding lol

People have already said that transhumanism is a bit too wide to be symbolized by a single thing, but here's my coin toss

Probably not a good idea at all, but I would say a stylized handprint of a metallic color of preference, or even just plain white/gray on a simple background, maybe a dark blue green background, why? Idk, I think its a nice color and I think it would look good with a brass colored hand, maybe with a circle around the hand?

As for the reason? Well, no matter the path or the final objective, the start is still the same, us, baseline humanity, and what is the oldest and mostly inherently human way of showing we are to the future, no matter how much changes? The handprint. I would have given a better answer, but I'm on the phone, so you know how it goes, anyway, good luck with the flag mate!

it should be a gif

the transhumanism flag should be more than a standard flag

maybe that stages of evolution ape to upright human but go further showing the technological milestones or a prediction of the trajectory of self directed evolution

like this but better: https://i.gifer.com/78Mz.mp4 

Maybe ask to some AI what it could imagine?

I am thinking about a flag with a head half human half robot, with some big difference to look between the two parts

And then maybe some symbols that the community already uses, as many other people wrote

A black hole, as I'm looking forward to the singularity.

combine a gear with a human head

or maybe rip off the vitruvian man and turn him into binary

actually these are just logos arent they, transhumanism definitely needs the colour blue in as blue is evidently the colour of the future, and the colour white also which I think represents peacefulness or a blank canvass on which to rebuild

interesting project

Why do we need a flag? To me it seems like that would be missing the point

Why does everything need a flag these days? I think its ridiculous. Its a scientific principle not a political party or nation. Less flags, more actual progress.

Edit, according to the downvotes apparently I'm not allowed an opinion. All hail the hive mind.

blank white (surrender to the evolution) with a robot in very tiny image at the very top right.

Kalista's apple

I like the Anarcho-Transhumanism flag, though!

If this aint the flag than whats even the point of having one?

The trans flag but it has a big gear in the middle

A grave covered by an X!

I thought this was the flag? (Minus the anarco bisect)

smh acting like we don't already have one
