One flag has five stripes-- black, red, white, yellow, and gold. The second flag is this five striped flag with a black hourglass in the center.

On April 1st, 2021, tumblr user neopronouns posted a redesigned deathian flag. This flag also has five stripes, but the stripes are yellow, green, light grey-green, dark grey-green, and black. The yellow and green represent life, while the grey-greens and black represent the inevitability of death and slow decay.
