INTERNATIONAL
Welcome to our page of international 100% Signs!
Why create international versions? There are a number of reasons we created these versions:
- First, we firmly believe that a nation should be proud to acknowledge and cater to the needs of ALL its residents and flags are appropriate national symbols. These international versions are a way for residents of any nation to show their support for universal acceptance and inclusivity in their country.
- Second, not everyone currently lives in a country that acknowledges their existence, and the availability of a 100% Sign within the specific context of their national symbol acknowledges their existence and has great power for those people.
- Third, showing a 100% sign with the flag of a particular nations state indicates support for inclusivity within that country, and NOT approval of what the current government of that country may be doing. The focus is on the populace not the government.
- We do recognize the power of showing a flag and that this may just be unacceptable for some people in some countries. In this case we can provide additional customizations of the 100% Sign in your language with alternative symbology to a flag. We also provide two versions with a more neutral international flavor- with the ‘dove of peace’ and with the flag of the United Nations.

All of the international signs begin their life with the original English text: This is because translation is a tricky thing**. Not all concepts translate directly, and we need help creating truly inclusive wording in your language. It is also quite likely that more than one version may be required for any give country. Please contact us if you would like to help create a 100% Sign in your native tongue**.
These images of International 100% Signs have been sized for use in email signatures or on your websites. Links to full resolution images to print locally are coming soon, or can be supplied upon request.
**Notes:
-
Our source for our list of nations and flags is Wikipedia – if you have been left out or your nation’s flag has changed, send an email and we will create new versions as appropriate.
-
All non-English versions will be independently translated to verify their content.
-
All 100% Signs must retain the core symbols of the intersecting rainbows, gender marker, globe, the name ‘The 100% Sign’ and our website URL ‘100percentsign.org’. See the customization tab for further details and examples we have done for various organizations.
-
In some cases to best represent a flag we have compressed or cropped the flag image to, we think, best capture the features of their symbols. We realize these are judgment calls and we are willing to be educated as to any better ways to show your flag in this space.
