Flag
Although the aplatonic flag can be used to represent the aplatonic spectrum, a flag was created that represents all apl-spec people, not just focusing on people who are purely aplatonic. The flag was created by Tumblr user Dexter on July 3rd, 2020. The flag is made in the style of the ace-spec and aro-spec flags, and it uses the same color progression (two similar colors, purple, red, orange, pink, and blue). The colors were taken from multiple aplatonic flags and are adjusted to be more cohesive. It is unknown flag has any meaning to it.
