I mean, once you realize the meaning behind it I like it more
In all seriousness though, I kinda liked the tricolor, I would’ve liked to see some green. Definite improvement over the original on all counts though.
Could have had a laser loon. Cowards.
I can only hope the ice blue keeps people away from Minnesota.
Æsthetical, recognisable, not busy, with a subtle nod to the shape of the state. I like it.
@ThatOneKirbyMain2568 I’m not vexillologically oriented, but I’m very happy with it. It stands out and the k and star identify the state well. I’ve always liked the two colors of blue. Without all the choices, it would have been a no-brainer hit, but given all the options (and the change from the submitted design) people have all sorts of regrets over missed options. Personally, I preferred two stripes to the right of the K, but c’est la vie.
@ThatOneKirbyMain2568 I like the final version, maybe even more so than the triband design that was butchered to create this one, but I don’t think I necessarily would have supported it if it had been an option from the start.
Maybe an odd way to put this, but it feels like a flag that *I* could have designed in an afternoon after skimming the state’s Wikipedia article and messing around with geometric shapes in Inkscape (which is my usual method).
@ThatOneKirbyMain2568 I personally preferred the original 3 stripe design. This one is okay, but not as good as the original.
I also preferred the stripes, but I’d say this one is more than okay. I think opinions would generally be more positive if we didn’t have the original design to compare to. A downgrade, but still a great flag nonetheless.
I think this is a really nice flag! It’s a simple, satisfying design separated from others by the unique color palette (consisting of very wintery colors, btw) and the inverted chevron resembling the shape of the state. I miss the stripe in the middle, but it’s still an awesome flag as is.
It’s also helpful to see it waving, so here’s a photo of that.
@ThatOneKirbyMain2568 Liking it! Can’t wait to see it fly.
