Conlang Flag
The Conlang Flag was designed by Christian Thalmann, Jan van Steenbergen, Leland Paul, David J. Peterson and Adrian Morgan. It represents the Tower of Babel (translating Genesis 11:1-9 has been a tradition for conlangers) against a rising sun. It was released into the public domain.

Want a Flag?
The LCS currently has a small quantity of flags to sell. If you’re interested in ordering a flag, bear in mind that this is a full size, all-weather flag: 3’x5′ knitted polyester, single side screenprint (1 ply), two sturdy hanging loops (called grommets) on the left side. Looks great from either side.
Order Yours Today
To order a flag, email memberships@nullconlang.org with a quantity and a valid mailing address. The Treasurer will then reply with a full price quote (flag plus shipping) and instructions on how to pay.
We currently have a few conlang flags left over from a previous order. If you ordered a conlang flag and never got notified or never received your flag, email memberships@nullconlang.org with the details.
Flags currently cost $26 United States dollars (USD) for LCS members, $32 USD for everyone else. On top of that, we ask that you pay for postage. Currently (May 2015) postage for a first class parcel is about ~$4 in the US, and ~$13 outside of the US.
