 In 2015, Cor proposed cos own flag design for quoi identities, including [[quoigender]], [[quoisexual]], and quoiromantic: four lavender question marks, rotated in a ring to share a single dot, as if spinning in a circle. This design was overlaid on a cool grey background in a house-shape, instead of the traditional rectangular flag.<ref>[https://epochryphal.tumblr.com/post/129602967777/ok-problem-solved-i-found-a-color-called-cool Cor's Quoi Flag Proposal]</ref> The choice of question marks as a symbol references the questioning basis of quoi as an identity term.

-Prior to that, other flag design proposals for a quoiromantic and quoisexual flag have combined blue, green, black, and white or gray, in varying configurations.<ref>[https://pride-color-schemes.tumblr.com/post/147022017775/quoi Quoiromantic Flag Designs]</ref>

 The earliest of these appears to have been first proposed in 2014, with stripes in black, white, lime green, and light blue, but was later redesigned in approximately 2015, to black, a more muted green, a more muted blue, and pale gray.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20161106102634/http://pride-flags-for-us.tumblr.com/post/88136093824/flowercrownprincette-ragingqueermisandrist Old version of the black-green-blue flag design]</ref><ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20150924005815/https://chaotic-evil-gender.tumblr.com/flags Later version of the black-green-blue design]</ref> The original posts for both of these proposals appear to have since been lost and can only be accessed in their archived form via the Wayback Machine.

-More recently, some simplified designs have been proposed inspired by the nontraditional flag shape idea, using a triangular flag shape instead, with the intent of being easier to physically reproduce.<ref>[https://queer-buccaneers.tumblr.com/post/185068311262/heres-an-idea-i-had-for-a-quoi-flag-thats-easier Simplified Quoi Flag Proposals]</ref> Like Cor's design, these designs exhibit a ring of question mark symbols sharing a single dot, except that the number of question marks is three instead of four. These designs have been proposed in both a green and a lavender version, in reference to previous designs. The green version is intended for quoi orientation identities, specifically. The lavender version is intended for quoi identities as a whole, as with Cor's design, "to honor its intentional vagueness." This leaves it open to use for other types of quoi identities, such as quoigender or [https://solipsistful.tumblr.com/quoigenic quoigenic].

 [[File:QuoiSpiralQ.png|thumb|126x126px|Spiral Q symbol]]
 Other proposed quoi symbols include the Spiral Q symbol, which combines a gray spiral with the letter "Q," styled with a gap and dot underneath to resemble a question mark.<ref>[https://www.pillowfort.social/posts/748780 Spiral Q]</ref> The spiral and question mark symbolism are intended to represent dizziness, ambiguity, and questioning. The blue, green, and turquoise color gradient, as well, is intended to represent ambiguity, both via the gradient and due to the breadth of colors that can be considered "turquoise." In the same way that turquoise can be both and neither blue or green, this symbol represents a disidentification with the romantic/nonromantic distinction.
