A community all about flags! Feel free to post flags you like (or dislike), flag designs of your own, flag-related news, or anything else of the sort. ### Rules **Be civil.** As per kbin.social's terms of service, be respectful to others. Harassment, racism, homophobia, etc. will not be tolerated. **Don't plagiarize.** If you post someone else's flag design, make sure to clearly credit the original creator so that it doesn't appear to be your own. This obviously doesn't include established flags (i.e., you don't need to worry about crediting the designer of the U.S. flag). **Stay on topic.** Please only post about flags. You can post flag designs, flag collections, flag news, flag discussions, or whatever else, but it needs to be at least somewhat related to flags.

The current flag

Since I already like Rhode Island's flag a lot, I didn't want to go too far from the original design. I decided to make the following three changes:

  • The background was changed from white to blue. I felt yellow on blue popped a lot more due to the higher contrast, and it helps a lot with the nautical vibe.
  • The "HOPE" ribbon was removed. It's fine, but I prefer the flag without it.
  • The ratio was changed from 29:33 (🤮) to 1:1 to match maritime signal flags.
