The flag of Cyberia is seen in the "Bend Her" episode, flown at the 3004 Olympics: Light blue field with centered darker blue diamond. Inside the diamond is a device consisting of a grey (or maybe silver) vertical 4 fingered robot fist clenching a yellow lightning bolt. (screengrab).

A thin vertical purple swallowtail can be seen behind the Decapodian ruler when he presides over Fry & Zoidberg's fight to the death (screengrab from www.gotfuturama.com).

At the spaceport, a pink field with the lower fourth in blue in a wave motif, the waves cresting from left to right.

It Appears above the welcome booth at the Decapodia spaceport. I think this might be a festival flag for the Mating Frenzy.

This flag can be seen in the ambassador's office.It is a rather festive design with twin narrow purple stripes on a violet background.
Eugene Ipavec, 26 february 2005

There's also a different, furled flag in "A Taste of Freedom" (screengrab).
T. Mike, 17 february 2005

This flag can be seen flying from the top of the Mobile Oppression Palace [fic-fdce.gif]. It is likely the flag of the Decapodian occupation government of Earth--looks like an attempt to combine Nazi and Soviet symbols, with a white disk on a dark red field bearing a hammer in the grasp of a Decapodian claw.

DOOP stands for ‘Democratic Order of Planets.’ The interstellar government of the year 3000 in the comedy series Futurama, and an amusing satire of Star Trek’s Federation. The flag is in the UN style, with DOOP centered in lowercase in a deliberately retro-70s font. Though the field is a darker blue, and those look like olive branches, not laurel. The whirly-atoms symbol over which 'DOOP' is superimposed bears a striking resemblance to that of the UN International Atomic Energy Agency, btw.
Eugene Ipavec, 2 november 2004

This flag is first seen in the "Brannigan, Begin Again" episode: When Brannigan is court-martialed, he makes Kif wave this flag behind him to add drama to his farewell speech.

Here's a link to someone else's screen shot.
T. Mike, 17 february 2005

A few notes on this flag: first off the UN branches I believe are olive as well. (I don't believe that it was ever stated what the branches are on the DOOP flag, but olive is a good assumption.) Secondly, the font on the flag I think should be a bit "heavier", maybe bold?
David Kendall, 24 february 2005

Really? Peasant that I am I merely assumed they were laurel. They looked somehow laurel-y. I have no idea what the DOOP branches are supposed to be. They look like they need to be watered though.

It first appears in the episode "Brannigan Begin Again," as does the flag. Simply the 'DOOP' symbol in an oval blue shield. The only difference from the flag is that the small spheres in the elliptical orbits in the center of the symbol are a) larger and b) golden.

There's a DOOP spacecraft roundel too. It shows up fairly often--every episode that features the Nimbus. A simplified, unicolored version of the logo.

A 3004 Olympics participant. Apparently an independent state by then. A field of vertical green and dark blue stripes--four and five, respectively--overlaid with the device of a yellow-eyed, bright-red devil's head in profile, facing left.It appears in the episode "Bend Her".

On the Leela zone Futurama's fansite, You can see the Earth's Flag from the animated TV serie. In this particular episode (A taste of freedom), Dr.Zoidberg gets the death-penalty because he ate the flag.
J. Patrick Fischer, 25 january 2003

Since it is just a regular US flag with an image of Earth (Americas showing) instead of the stars, I suppose it fits within the historical / satyrical setting of the series.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 12 september 2003

This flag appears at the back of the Earth Legislature chamber in the episode "When Aliens Attack." The vertical-hoist equivalent of the regular Earth flag, presumably.

The episode "A taste of freedom" shows The Globetrotters' Homeworld flag (Screengrab).
T. Mike, 17 february 2005

The Globetrotter Homeworld--The Harlem Globetrotters are a contemporaey U.S. trick-basketball team. In Futurama they have their own planet, from whence they occasionally emerge to challenge hapless Earthlings to pick-up games. The flag appears on embassy row in "The Taste of Freedom". It's actually a rather nice design, based on the Stars-and-Stripes motif of Globetrotter uniforms.

The episode "A taste of freedom" shows a "Klingon" flag (Screengrab).
T. Mike, 17 february 2005

For those who may be unaware, the Klingons (from the tv show Star Trek) are an empire of uber-violent warriors who live for nothing but valor on the battlefield and honor in death. The humor inherent in giving them a purple-daisy-on-pink flag (to say nothing of making the Klingon Embassy look like a Barbie Dream House) should now become evident.

The company flag of Mom's Friendly Robot Company--a division of the megaconglomerate Momcorp, and the manufacturer of one of the series' cast members, Bender the debauched robot, appears in the episode "Mother's Day." A screengrab can be seen here.

In the episode "The Cryonic Woman," Fry and Bender borrow the spaceship for a joyride, inadvertently dragging along the entire Planet Express building, to which they are unknowingly moored by an unbreakable diamond tether. A brief sight gag has the building smashing a hole in the Great Wall of China, instantly causing nomadic warriors on horseback to flood through. The flag they carry is that of Mongolia, except with altered colors--gold/yellow/gold instead of red/blue/red, and the soyonbo in red insted of yellow.

The flag of the Nation of Joe is seen in the "Bend Her" episode, flown at the 3004 Olympics: Red field with Joe's head on it. (screengrab from www.Gotfuturama.com).

I believe their flag is grey, based on the episode "Taste of Freedom." The color of the embassy was grey, and the flag matched the embassy color, grey.
Zachary Harden, 4 november 2004

From a symbolic stanpoint, grey would indeed make it neutral in a "black or white" context.
Marc Pasquin, 4 november 2004

The flag is completely beige (Screengrab).
T. Mike, 17 february 2005

The Planet was first seen in the episode "Brannigan Begin Again." (Capital: *Neutropolis* Motto: *Live Free Or Don't*). The flag can be seen in the president's office, as well as on embassy row in "The Taste of Freedom".
Eugene Ipavec, 24 february 2005

In the episode "Bend Her", the Olympic Comitee's flag at the 3004 Olympics has an extra two rings, for a total of seven.
Eugene Ipavec, 18 february 2005

Probably as a joke, but also getting around very strict IOC restrictions on non-olympic use of the official symbol.
David Kendall, 18 february 2005

The Omicronians appear to have some kind of banner (vexilloid?) in the "Spanish Fry" episode (Screengrab).
T. Mike, 17 february 2005

The Space Pirates, who have a part in the opening scenes of episode "Godfellas." Points of interest include a three-eyed skull, odd curved-pennant shape and the choice of maroon instead of black, presumably for enhanced visibility in space.
Eugene Ipavec, 27 March 2005

At the 3004 Olympics

At the torchlighting ceremony of the 3004 Olympic (the "Bend Her" episode), two very small flags waved by audience members are visible: One looks like the french flag, only with Germany's flag colors (black, yellow, red). [Editor's Note: that's the flag of belgium.]

The other is a bicolor vertical (upper white, lower red), with the addition of a dark blue square, positioned as on the American flag, with a white circle or star centered in it. [Editor's Note: that's the flag of Chile.]

An UFE national flag that appears at the 3004 Olympics. Included for the sake of completeness. Looks like Djibouti, but the details are wrong.

Unidentified Aliens

by Eugene Ipavec, 25 february 2005

Unidentified Aliens--The flag of the nasally endowed--and rather sensitive about it--aliens that invade Earth in one of the Futurama comic books.
