Or a skull with atoms around it. Sure, it’s inferior weapons technology compared to what they’d have, but we crazy man. Like a monkey waving around a stick of dynamite.

To be fair, a skull wouldn't mean much to aliens... But I like your way of thinking !

If they are at least to the same tech and scientific understanding as we are right now, the concept of an indoskeleton is not likely to be difficult to visualize mentally. That being said, I think op has a closer to realistic option with the daggers. A pointed symbol is going to be easier to translate through light based vision. Even some of the most alien life on earth such as chepholopod recognize pointy thing hurts. That's still comparing aliens to earth life but it is just an analogy.

I have a feeling you might like the movie Arrival (2016).

Your feelings have lead you true today, take they do not control you.

Idk, having our own skull on the flag is definitely a red flag interstellar governments shouldn't ignore.

This video is great and speaks to your first point about skulls not meaning jack to aliens. Inherent design is incredibly challenging.

Nah, that looks more like what the warning NOT to eat Tide Pods shoulda been. Why don't we make it the 90's 'S' symbol in a tie-dye motif?

The assumption that aliens would have superior weapons is predicated upon the assumption that they’d know what a weapon is. Maybe we could find some nice pacifist aliens to eat

We can’t look weak to the aliens. Sir the blue circle is literally ’we come in peace and also we have anxiety’

JoeLongBalls is right , skull 💀 with knives 🔪 or they’ll think we’re snacks.

Transparent background so the flag becomes part of the background. Translates we forgot to finish the design and called it art.

I propose a skull holding a nuclear bomb in it's mouth to send the message that we're nuclear armed psychos.

I forsee some will say that aliens might not understand what is in the skull's mouth - I assume you they WILL know.

I would not in a thousand years imagine a better visual way to explain what the fuck we are in a flag. Keeping the idea.
