A simple Minnesota flag redesign

  • After making a nonsensical alignment chart of Minnesota redesigns, I felt it'd make sense to post my own here. Even out of my already simple set of state flag redesigns, this is probably one of the most barebones.

    Symbolism

    • The white star in the top left references Minnesota's motto ("L'Étoile du Nord", meaning "Star of the North") and one of its nicknames (the North Star State).
    • The dark blue at the bottom alludes to Minnesota's many lakes, which are the source of another nickname (the Land of 10,000 Lakes).
    • The white line represents the snowy winters of the state.
    • The azure background is meant to evoke a winter sky.
  • As someone who occasionally paints flags, having to buy two different shades of the same color is a pain in the ass.

    The blues in this flag are also a little hard to focus on when you look at it.
