Yes. Some of us at Aleph have been thinking of a transhumanist flag: a white flag, but treated (with titanium dioxide) so that when lit by UV light it shines (the common disco effect). I like the idea of adding a *new* physical effect to human symbolism, but it better not be too vulgar.
The ultraviolet ribbon (can be found at
http://www.aleph.se/Trans/Cultural/Fun/uvribbon.gif) has the
disadvantage of being invisible to unaugmented browsers (almost)
