Mars


The current flag of Mars has a vertical red-green-blue tricolor design, which makes it quite hard to distinguish between many other flags around the world...or universe. This flag design is almost like a lesson in astronomy, as the official specifications have the distance of the lines set to scale as they are in real life. The yellow represents the Sun, the red represents Mars, the black represents space itself, and the gold is used for the orbits so that the orbits can be seen on the yellow Sun.
