    im more of a fan of the wrench and cog than hammer and sickle because it recognizes the achievements of the past while forging its own path into the symbolism of the future

      I've never seen one pulled off visually pleasing. It's derivative anyway. So I'd rather use the original.

      I love cogs! An atom, a molecule, or a space ship might be even better for futurism/progress.

      The effective thing about the hammer and sickle was that people actually used hammers and sickles when the flag went up. They represented working people. We don't really have working tools like that to unite everyone. Keyboards? Meh.

      Imagine if every nation had its own distinct symbology - hammers and sickles for the agarian nations, cogs and wrenches for the industrial ones, mice and keyboards for the service-based economies, cummies and spaceships for the post-scarcity fully automated luxury hedonist ones etc.
