Flag of the Neckbeard Society

Here is my design for a flag of the Neckbeard Society. The central symbol is of course a simplified depiction of a person with a neckbeard. The background image is also intended to be suggestive of a person with a neckbeard (white face, black beard). The three colours used in the flag - white, black, brown - hint at the range of natural colours of a beard, which can be white, black, or various greys in between, or various browns. Another benefit of this design is that it's somewhat reminiscent of a woman's breast, which should make it memorable.


Calvin Ellis Stowe

Calvin Ellis Stowe (1802-1886) was an American Biblical scholar who was known for his advocacy of universal public education. He was the husband of Harriet Beecher Stowe, whose anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin became one of the best-selling books of the century and helped the slavery abolition movement.
