Design an Environmental Signalling Flag

We are delighted to welcome you on board to explore and express how you feel about climate emergency. By designing a signalling flag. you’ll become a vexillographer (flag designer).

What you will need

• The Flag Design Worksheets. See worksheet PDF’s below which you can download. Use these to explore your thoughts and develop your design.
• Felt pens or coloured pencils for your design
• A printout of worksheet No.4 or download it to use on a phone or tablet drawing App

Here is a great talk that might help with your design

What will happen to my design?

Your design will be included in the growing archive collection that captures current feeling about climate change. Many designs are made into large flags. When these flags fly together, they create a stunning display that sends out our collective messages. These will fly over the coming years at venues around the country and further afield, including on a Tall Ship and at coastal events. Large flags and their meanings will appear on our website and be part of a book “Environmental Distress Signal Flags”.

Finally. Your design matters and is really important, so please share/return your completed Flag Worksheets to us. You can photograph the sheets and then email these to us (info@ecoartcharity.org), put them on our social media or post them to us at the address below. Thankyou

A flag designer is called a vexillographer. By submitting your design, you’re taking action on climate change and that makes you are a vexillographic climate activist, congratulations!
