The most widely known Ficto- flag was made by Deviantart user Pride-Flags. Background stripes represent the asexuality felt towards anything but fictional characters. The pink hole represents a portal into the media of choice that allows for attraction- the fictional universe is in the circle, and it is filled with love/attraction.
 
The flag designs with the black "portal" in the middle seem to be intended only for Aspec people,<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Aspec-Fictosexual-Fictonsexual-557589537</ref> but this is not always respected when these flags are used.
