## Introduction

Black Mirror is a British anthology television series of 27 completed episodes in six seasons. It was aired on British Channel 4 and is also available on Netflix. Its episodes explore a diversity of genres, but most are set in near-future dystopian societies with sci-fi technology – a type of speculative fiction. The series is inspired by The Twilight Zone TV series and uses the themes of technology and media to comment on contemporary social issues. The episodes were produced between 2011 and 2023, a seventh season is announced for 2025.
The quality of the series is generally at a high level in terms of script, setting and acting*. What makes it even more interesting for viewers from 2024 is the fact that many episodes address topics that are currently being discussed in connection with Artificial Intelligence (AI). We are being shown a future that will be anything but beautiful if we don't take care of the ethical problems that can arise from the use of AI.
* This does not apply to Episode 1, Season 1 ("The National Anthem"). Viewer discretion is advised for its sodomistic scenes.

## Flag and Logo in Episode "Men against Fire" (S3/E5)

In the episode "Men against Fire" (Season 3, Episode 5 | 2016), the flag and logo of a fictional country can be seen. It's a white V-like logo on a dark blue background (picture). The logo can also be seen on walls, patches and helmets of soldiers (picture | source: Youtube video at 6:59 and 4:08 min.).

I tried to draw this flag, but I'm not really sure of its details (especially the corners of the logo – rounded or not?).
This logo shows a stylized "V", as said, made from a parallelogram and a trapeze of identical heights and angle pairs, arrayed to be tangent at one of the acute corners of the former and one of the obtuse corners of the latter – the resulting design presenting an assymteric notch at the angle of the letter, shown at the lower hoist side of the flag.
The shorter of the parallel sides of the latter has the same length as the two longer sides of the former, and that in the resulting design one of the shorter sides of each of the two shapes fall on the same line. That locks the whole thing in place.

[The image version of 2 August 2024] has a better rendition of the logo, with the rounded corners to be confirmed, and smaller size on the cloth, taking up half of the flag's height, and centered on it.
