The owl one is the least bad, followed by the one with six foxes in a huddle.

Second would probably work best, and owl is nice as well. Both work also as general symbols - either the star or an owl would be easy to adopt to different patches or properties as a marker.

The first one looks like the flag of a particularly evil modern multinational corporation, and that colors my perception of the second flag as well. (Saudi Aramco’s) The second flag feels like it wants to be friends with Arizona and New Mexico, and it just isn’t.

Second one reminds me of driving through Nebraska. I watched the eclipse in North Platte when that happened. It's picturesque for a podunk town.

BuckT.Trend posted:My hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska is choosing a new flag. They've put four designs up for a public preference vote. Details: https://www.amalincoln.org/reflag-lnk/ The first one is a Powerpoint background. The third one is a cool symbol that there's no way that the town really deserves, but it would also be cool if they could somehow really go all-in for using the owl to represent everything. The fourth one is a design you'd find in an ancient temple of some mysterious vanished society with improbably advanced technology deep inside the tomb, and it doesn't seem like it has legible symbolism and it probably wouldn't be very readable at a distance, but it sure looks cool. Cooler than Nebraska deserves. So that means the second one is the most what I'd expect a flag to look like, but I don't like how the flower is weirdly asymmetric.

Random-colored triangles, just what a flag needs. 2. Not bad overall. The design of the star-fox is a little busy, but it works. 3.  I like it.4. Did the city famously go through an Art Deco phase or something?

Powered Descent posted:1. Terrible. Random-colored triangles, just what a flag needs. 1. It’s supposed to be an abstract map of Nebraska with the star motif placed where Lincoln is located. I’m not a fan. 2. I think this one is okay, but I don’t like the six-sided star. I’d like to see what a five-sided star looks like. 3. It’s a great visual, but I have no idea why they chose a barn owl. Lincoln is not known for its abundance of owls. 4. This is an abstract representation of the State Capitol with a sunrise behind. The Capitol actually is Art Deco-lite on the exterior, and definitely Art Deco (and folk art) on the inside.

The fourth one looks like it should be the symbol of a futuristic church that worships a nuclear bomb.

Owl good, but I played too much AssCreed Odyseey to not see the Owl as a symbol of Athens.

You people are thinking about what you like looking at high-res pictures on your computers or phones. You're not thinking about how a flag would look from a ways off, limp, hanging off a flag pole. The owl design is absolutely the best looking but it wouldn't make the best practical flag.

2 would be the best flag if that star was symmetrical. It isn't so owl wins in the basis of that flag being most identifiable from a distance.

Reading about the flags' symbolism on the site, I'm leaning a lot more towards the barn owl. 1. Corners create the shape of Nebraska, kinda, orange represents agricultrue, blue is Salt Creek, which is important to the city, but not in the southwest, the star is the location of the city in Nebraska, orange on the star is still agriculture, but the blue on the star is health and technology, but really the point is to create an arrow on the star pointing upward. 2. Star means capital city, and is also on the horizon of Nebraska for hopes and dreams, and weirdly cockeyed to represent a rustic small town. Arrows pointing inward into the star mean "hey, come to Lincoln Nebraska", but the red hexagons pointing both in and out represent the University of Nebraska. 3. Owls are good. The Barn Owl can adapt from a rural to urban environment, like the people of Lincoln, Nebraska.* 4. Art Deco, colors kinda from the Nebraska flag, design evokes a beacon, a sunset, the capitol building, and " an aerial view of the traditional center of town (13th and O Street)". Google Maps does not corroborate this claim. *The simplicity of the explanation is undercut by a link to a long web page elaborating further. Blue is the land, contrast increases visibility, owls are even more great, heart is accurate to owl anatomy and represents Lincoln compassionately listening, star eyes represent the "star city" which is apparently what some human somewhere calls Lincoln, have I mentioned that owls are great?

True, but that puts in in good company in the U.S.. Most flags aren’t the most practical flags. Not my ranking, but this displays them all, and look at all those entered emblems.

But they get extra points for being an English flag turned 45 degrees. I'm not sure the points are positive or negative.

Florida's flag is derived from Spain's burgundian cross. Dunno about Alabama but not inclined to be generous. Confederate Florida had the stars and bars but the stars were the state seal, taking the worst kind of US state flag and making it racist.

It wouldn't matter if Florida had the world's best flag it'd still suck because it represents the worst place.

Dang they found the one guy who remembered that the traitors’ battle flag was square. For people always talking about “heritage” and how history will be forgotten the moment we take down bad statues of losers, they sure are quiet about that glaring inaccuracy.  This is the one that the First Minnesota Infantry captured at the Battle of Gettysburg.

There's a huge tourism opportunity just waiting for whichever of the seal flag states replaces it with a seal seal flag, that is, a flag bearing a state seal depicting either a baby seal or singer-songwriter Seal (their choice).
