About the flag

The flags used by Comunes can be found in several photographs online and all tend to take the form of one of the party's logos centered on a solid color field. This version, seen amongst other flags in a photo online at https://radio.uchile.cl/2020/02/26/banderazo-por-el-apruebo-cientos-de-personas-se-reunen-frente-a-la-moneda/, features the word "comunes" in lowercase letters across the center of a white field. The letters are multiple colors, with the "co" in dark purple, the "mu" in orange, and the "nes" in a scarlet red. The word is underlined by a splash of green color.

Background

Comunes (translated on Wikipedia as "Commoners") is a leftist political party in Chile. It was founded in 2019 by a merger of two leftist political parties--Citizen Power (Poder Ciudadano) and Autonomous Left (Izquierda Autonomista). [1] The party joined the Broad Front (Frente Amplio) political alliance, along with the Democratic Revolution (Revolución Democrática) party, Social Convergence (Convergencia Social) party, UNIR Movement (Movimiento UNIR), and Common Force (Fuerza Común) party. Broad Front, and by extension Comunes, is part of the Apruebo Dignidad (Approve Dignity) national alliance that helped propel Gabriel Boric to the Chilean presidency in 2022. [2]

Variants

This version, seen online at https://www.soychile.cl/puerto-montt/politica/2022/05/10/756499/eleccion-partido-comunes.html, features the party name in dark purple capital letters centered on a white field. However, the "O" in the word has been replaced by the party's circular logo, almost whirlpool-like, with shades of red, green, and blue swirling together.

This version is just one example of several like it, which can be seen online at https://www.latercera.com/politica/noticia/lanzan-comunes-nuevo-partido-del-frente-amplio-fusiono-la-izquierda-autonoma-poder/492968/. Each variant features the word "comunes" in white, lowercase letters centered on a plain color field. This example has a scarlet red field. Other examples, seen in the photograph linked above, have fields of orange, black, olive green, and a bold green, and there are likely other colors used, though not included in this particular photograph.

More photos of this/these variant(s):
I am not so sure if the "black" flag is really black - maybe dark gray, but it does have a purplish shade which suggests that it is actually meant to be dark purple - the same shade as used in the other two presented flags, or a bit lighter, as well as used in the logo as presented by Wikipedia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Comunes_logo_2020.png.
