There are lots of world flags: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Earth https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Earth_Flag_Simple.sv...

Surprisingly, none with crabs on them.

Carcinization will fix that eventually. And then Roko's Crabulisk will hunt down everyone who didn't vote for the crab flag.

Anteaters will be more likely, apparently.

Huh. Interesting.

Well, there are quite a lot of ants in the world, so I guess it makes sense.

I quite like the James W. Cadle one from 1970.
Yes. It has the simplicity of a traditional flag but recognisably represents the earth. The 2016 one (which this thread is about) is too similar to the Japanese flag. Or the Blaupunkt logo.
…which also lists this thread’s flag, that apparently is from 2016.
