Current Flag:
I don’t want to offend anyone here, but I really don’t like this flag. It has text on it, which just makes it look really bad. However, the main reason is because of its meaning. Apparently, the top star represents the Confederacy, and it’s easy to see the similarities between the two flags. The other stars’ symbolism is disputed, but the stars on the band represent Arkansas’ status as the 25th State. The diamond represents its status as the only diamond-bearing state (this has changed since it was written down in 1987). The colors are drawn from the American flag.
My Redesign:
In this redesign, I kept most of the design. However, I removed the text, which didn’t do anything, and I removed the twenty-five stars because of their lack of meaningful symbolism. The star in the middle is a replacement for the text, and represents the state itself. The diamond still represents the same thing, and the colors are still those of the national flag.
