To me it seems that longtermism is a quite simple idea. In a relevant sense it’s just one idea or value. And it seems to me that a longtermist flag should capture or express that simplicity. Therefore, I might favour a flag with just one symbol and two colours, or so.
That’s similar to the utilitarian flag. Utilitarianism is simple, and the flag is correspondingly simple (or broadly so).
Another example of correspondence between the simplicity/complexity of the flag and the values it expresses is the French Tricolour. One interpretation of it (not the only one, but let’s ignore that) is that the three colours stand for Liberty, Equality, and Brotherhood.
I agree with this, but I strongly prefer simple flags in general, so this is probably mostly my general aesthetic preferences rather than a specific belief about longtermism.
