This is so cool, and the new flag is a great choice. It hides a map of Minnesota within itself and can be hung vertically and still look good.
I still liked this one most because I'm a huge symmetry fanboy
But this one was a very close second for me and I'm really happy the voters chose it this was chosen (my bad) over the other two. Guess I should have moved to Minnesota.
It wasn't a vote, there was a flag redesign committee (otherwise we would have ended up with Flagy McFlagface). The star snowflake was my favorite as well, but I'm happy with what we went with and anything would have been better than the old seal on a bedsheet.
