I really like the aesthetics of these, though I’m not sure if that’s because they resemble nautical flags, which for me trigger positive associations with sailing during my childhood.
In general, I would say the immediate appeal of the flag on a System-1 level is much more important that the story behind it, which a minuscule fraction of those exposed to it will ever learn. Moreover, it’s easier to construct an adequate story for a relatively simple flag design, and such designs are also more apt to be aesthetically appealing.

As an example, I in no way intended these to resemble nautical flags, but I think we can totally work that into our longtermist symbolism post-hoc. :-P
(Though I’d also probably be happy with other colour schemes)

Strongly agree with this.
