Minnesota blazing the path of replacing all state flags that have seals on blue with flags that have symbols on blue.

I think it's a perfectly all right flag. Two-tone blue is an unusual choice, but the only actual problem it causes is that you need at least the 24-box of crayons to draw it correctly. At the very least it's an enormous improvement over the old hideous one.

I slightly prefer the tricolor right side original but I like this dark blue/light blue version, too.

The star makes it look like a knockoff Taiwanese flag. Is Minnesota expressing support for Taiwanese independence?

Without the side stripes, there's not much to evoke the Texas flag, and it looks kinda like an imma firin my lazer flag.

i came around to ditching the stripes when i saw some of the preliminary designs hanging vertically. with the k-shape on the flag, the stripes made it look like a carnival decoration. really though they should have just put the new state seal on the flag, that design is dope

As far as the star, yeah in a vacuum the original star was better, but the star they went with being an existing government motif definitely makes for a better flag for Minnesota and it's not like the star they went with is actively BAD.

It's fine, I guess, and definitely better than the seal on blue. Bit boring as a PNG, but the mockup of it as a physical flag looks nice enough.

Bland is better than aggressively ugly, but drat that's bland. Guess it's on point for the Midwest

I agree with you, although the old one is definitely one of the better instances of "coat of arms on a solid color" that I've seen.

Seems like it goes against the whole "non-binary" thing to have two different flags representing two mutually exclusive modes of existence.

The change that strikes me the most, and probably the most politically loaded one, is the switch from Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet.

I assume the alphabet change is the cause of the flag change?

It’s a flag that is going to look dated twenty minutes into the future.

Kazakh only uses cyrillic because of a certain mustachio’d man of metal and his sparkling prison camps. Education is back to using the latin alphabet and the full switch is supposed to be completed by 2025. It’s underway atm in stuff like  Government buildings are changing fast And retaining russian like the constitution states, which is pissing off the extended vacation russianse Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 10:03 on Jan 3, 2024 |

To be fair, I like the new one because it is your cities new coat of arms on a flag. Your city has a pretty interesting history with coat of arms too and you can see the changes the area went through in them. I don't think the old one was adopted until 1998 even though it has a really old-fashioned look. The new one having the Baiterek tower is cool to because it really is representing your city, and a leopard is pretty generic compared to it. This was the source on Wikipedia about the coat of arms, sorry it's all in Cyrillic so I'm not sure how good the google translate did with it. https://geraldika.ru/s/21000 gurragadon fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Jan 3, 2024 |
