Current Flag:
I think this flag has good meaning, but it’s too complicated. The big star represents Indiana, the 13 small stars in a ring represent the 13 original states, and the 5 other stars represent the 5 states admitted to the Union between the colonies and Indiana.
My Redesign:
I basically took out all the complicated stuff that wasn’t needed. The rays, stars, and text are all gone. I also made it a triband.
