The aloe vera a-spec flag was designed by Tumblr users Sapphic-Squirrel and Hetaces with help from the Inclusionist Discord Server and was posted on November 17, 2019.<ref>{{Archive|URL=2021.12.07-223350/https://sapphic-squirrel.tumblr.com/post/189130109062/hello-everyone-i-want-to-present-a-community-flag}}</ref> It was designed to mimic the [[sapphic]], [[achillean]], [[diamoric]], and [[pluralian]] flags with three stripes and one plant. The green is for aromantics, the purple for asexuals, and grey is for the grey area between a- identities and [[Allosexual|allo-]] identities (including those that don't have solid labels but know they are somewhere under the umbrellas of asexual or aromantic).
An alternative flag was created by tumblr user untitled-google-docs-document on July 5, 2022.<ref>{{Archive|Site=today|URL=https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/untitled-google-docs-document/688973602249408512?source=share}}</ref> She created this flag mainly because the a-spec flags have only included aro and ace individuals and not aplatonic and agender individuals, and thus wanted to make a flag inclusive to all a-spec individuals. The green stripe represents aromantic and agender individuals. The yellow string represents love and relationships outside of amatonormative ideas, it also represents how the community fights against amatonormativity and radicalizes the word "love" and also represents tertiary attraction. The white stripes represents the diversity of the a-spec community. The blue stripe represents anyone who is aplatonic. The purple stripe represents asexual individuals and the a-spec community as a whole. The compass rose symbol was inspired from the-moon-is-aroace's a-spec flag, only changing the color for aesthetic reasons.
