It is unknown when the most widely-known Demisexual flag was created or by whom, but it was presumably created after the [[Asexual]] flag was created in 2010, as it uses the same colors, which were based off the AVEN logo. In both the Asexual and Demisexual flags, black represents a lack of sexual attraction, and purple represents the [[Acespec|Ace-spec]] community. The grey represents [[Greysexual|Greysexuality]], which Demisexuality is included under, and white represents [[Sexual Attraction|sexual attraction]].
Two alternate Demisexual flags were created by tumblr user CrimsxnFlxwerz on August 2, 2018.<ref>[https://archive.ph/EjLNJ CrimsxnFlxwerz' Demisexual flags, Archived]</ref> The flags was made in response to some people being uncomfortable with the original flag's black triangle. The redesigned flags itself has the same color scheme, the purple being a bitshade more vividdifferent. CrimsxnFlxwerz made one flag's triangle take up half the flag and one with a black diamond to replace the triangle entirely.
