I think they all look nice but some of them are definitely a bit too maximalist. Don't have to represent everything. I like submission #1953 personally

[–] zhunk@beehaw.org 4 points 11 months ago

I think 1953 is my favoeite. I like the concept of F29, but I wish it looked a bit more different from the "crest on blue" generic state flag.

[–] delmain@beehaw.org 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah same, 1953 looks legitimately great in both vertical and horizontal orientations. I love that the shape that the star lays on kinda looks like Minnesota itself.

F29 is a distant second, but everything else is even further behind, imo

I'm not at all upset by these finalists. I've been a big fan of the snowflake on the North Star since I first saw it some months ago. I hope it wins!

What the hell happened to the dog picture flag? This is an outrage!

I thought that good boy was a shoe in

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 11 months ago

For real! Were any of the other flag designs good boys? Didn’t think so!

Oremus cum nobis etiam.

I like the focus on north star state. The actual designs are kind of meh though. They all still beat the current one, slapping the state seal on a blue field is the laziest of flags.

So they're not too good?
