In 1987, a second flag design was chosen in a contest organized by the UEA celebrating the first centennial of the language. It featured a white background with two stylised curved "E"s facing each other. Dubbed the (jubilee symbol), it attracted criticism from some Esperantists, who dubbed it the (melon) for its elliptical shape. It is still in use, though to a lesser degree than the traditional symbol, known as the (green star).
