Jul 12, 2021 · North Dakota – Riding on the success of the North Carolina redesign, I wanted to revisit my North Dakota redesign. After looking at imagery of North Dakota as well as a map of the state, my revised design has a blue half-circle on the left creating a ‘D’ for Dakota. The blue represents the lakes and rivers of the state.

A bit over a month ago, I got interested in vexillology and set out to redesign the 50 U.S. state flags. My goal was to create a set of designs based on three main principles—consistency, symbolism, and appeal—and I'm very happy with the result! Since this is my first attempt at flag redesigns, feedback is very helpful. Consistency

My redesign for Illinois turns the eagle from the current flag into a rising phoenix, an ancient symbol of renewal and rebirth that connects the flag to the state’s history and future. My redesign of the North Carolina flag replaces the star with a native dogwood bloom.

Mar 23, 2023 · Resurrection post, but for the KY state flag the yellow currently represents the Goldenrod. While corn is a popular crop in the western part of the state Tobacco and grain has a much deeper history and is a bigger part of our economy. I still liked your flag, but I would just change the description for the yellow in my own humble opinion.
