The Very Specific Interests and Ideas of one Person. Currently Politics, Cooking, and Vexillology.
Current Flag:
This is actually a pretty good flag, except for the seal. The red, white and blue are the colors of the U.S. Flag, and the white also represents justice and peace.
My Redesign:
My flag basically has the same symbolism, but I removed the seal and I used the proposed state colors for Wyoming.
Current Flag:
This is, in my opinion, one of the worst state flags. The symbols on the seal represent industry.
My Redesign:
I used the pickaxe and shovel from the coat of arms, and the colors from it. It is the same symbolism as the original flag, but I added some more: the 30 stars represent Wisconsin as the 30th state to join the Union.
Current Flag:
Very long, and ugly, but good symbolism! The white represents purity, and the blue represents the Union. The corn represents agriculture, and the hammer represents industry.
My Redesign:
I kept the border, and I added this hammer. It still represents purity, industry, and the Union.
Current Flag:
S.O.B. Has been referred to as “a giant dollar bill someone ran up a flagpole.” I think I should include the Washington family Coat of Arms in my design.
My Redesign:
I used the same colors, and the Washington coat of arms. Originally, the color of the coat of arms is red, but I changed it to green to keep some elements of the old flag.
Current Flag:
Look! Another seal on a blue field! I know this flag is boring, but at least the seal represents destroying tyrants, which I like.
My Redesign:
I used similar symbolism here. The swords in the crowns represent killing tyrants, the red represents their blood, and the cross is that of St. George, and it represents the United Kingdom, which Virginia was a part of.
Hi! I thought I would redesign flags of the United States. I’m making a new flag, ensign, naval ensign, yacht ensign, and jack. I will explain the symbolism of the originals and mine.
State, Civil, and War Flag
Current Flag:
I think this is okay, as flags go. The 50 stars represent the 50 U.S. States. The stripes represent the 13 original British American colonies in what is now the U.S.
My Redesign:
I used the same colors in this flag, but simplified it a bit and made small changes to the color scheme. The stripes represent the original 13 colonies, and they also represent the U.S. Motto, “E Pluribus Unum,” which means “Out of Many, One.” There are a lot of elements that come together to make a single flag.
State, Civil, and Naval Ensign
Current Ensign:
I think this is okay, as flags go. The 50 stars represent the 50 U.S. States. The stripes represent the 13 original British American colonies in what is now the U.S. This is where this post gets a little weird, as I am designing seperate State & Civil, Naval, and Yacht Ensigns.
State/Civil Ensign Redesign (this is flown on unarmed Government vessels and Privately owned Vessels):
I feel like the diagonal division represents the sea, as it is seen a lot on maritime flags. The ensign has the same colors as the flag. The main goal of this flag is to be simple enough to be noticed at sea without being confused with the Liberian or Chilean flags.
Naval Ensign Redesign:
This is effectively the same as the State/Civil Ensign, but charged with an anchor so as to be distinguished from the one used on unarmed ships.
Yacht Ensign Redesign:
Many yachts fly Burgees, so I made one for U.S. Yachts. Same symbolism as National Flag, but 13 stars instead of stripes.
Naval Jack
Current Jack:
This flag is essentially the canton of the original National Flag. A jack is a flag flown on the front of Naval ships when they are in port, since you were wondering.
Jack Redesign:
This is drawn from the original National Flag. The 13 stripes represent the 13 colonies.
Current Flag:
Another seal on bedsheet, more missed symbolism. The Green Mountain Boys Flag, or Flag of the Vermont Republic, was a flag used in Vermont from about 1776 until Vermont became a state. I’ve actually seen a few Vermonters flying the Green Mountain Boys flag.
My Redesign:
I used the same symbolism as the Green Mountain Boys flag: the Green represents Vermont as the Green Mountain State, the 13 stars represent the 13 British Colonies, and I created symbolism for the color blue: It represents the United States. The 14 stripes show that Vermont is the 14th State.
Current Flag:
This is a really ugly seal on a bedsheet. There is one good element in it, however. The beehive really does symbolize Utah, as it is called the Beehive State.
My Redesign:
This flag uses the aforementioned Beehive State symbolism. The beehive represents Utah as a U.S. State. The two stripes represent New Spain and Mexico, of which Utah was a part of before becoming a territory, then a state.
Current Flag:
This is, after New Mexico, definitely the second best state flag. It is iconic, and it really represents Texas. The red, white and blue represent bravery, purity, and loyalty, and they are also the colors of the US flag.
My Redesign:
This is based off of the proposed governor’s flag, but I don’t think it’s nearly as good as the current one. The same symbolism still exists.
Current Flag:
This seems to be an okay flag. The stars represent the 3 “grand divisions” of Tennessee, and the circle represents their unity. According to the designer, the blue and white stripes are just aesthetic. This flag may have Confederate symbolism, but I’m not sure. Either way, I’m going to remove the colors, because they don’t symbolize Tennessee, just the US as a whole. Instead, I’ll use the proposed state colors: Orange and white.
My Redesign:
My flag is based off of the original Tennessee state flag. The three stripes represent the Grand Divisions, and the star represents unity.
