Count Roland posted:I've been assuming that Christian is a generic term that encompasses Catholicism, Orthodox churches as well all the assorted Protestant denominations. It is the case, apart from baptist insanity where people think that nobody outside of their specific branch is actually christian.

Finalist flags are indeed mostly pretty meh but at the same time while I like the IDEA of a loon flag, it seemed like every loon flag people were actually bringing up completely sucked so, not surprised they ended up going with a bunch of meh flags instead

"symbol needs to be simple" means that like, when a kid draws it you need to be able to tell they what they were trying to draw, not that they need to be able to draw it 100% accurately. kyrgyzstan symbol is fine

Yeah I liked 2100 fine until he showed it hanging vertically in that video and then went "okay yeah he's 100% right, that does not work at all."

ORIGINAL VERSION "shape of the state" is fine in the same way that ohio and colorado basically skirt the "don't put your name on the flag" guideline, especially given it leads to the "wow, I can't believe nobody ever did this on a flag before it seems so obvious an idea" element. If they go through "let's make it asymetrical to make it even more like minnesota" it'll break all that though.

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.

The other thing is it can only ever be an arbitrary visual symbol that you mentally translate to your particular dialect's pronunciation so long as different dialects exist.

BonHair posted:I mean yeah, there's no iconic link between the letter and the sound obviously, but there's no rule saying that dialects have to be spelled the same way. You can spell the words how they're pronounced in your dialect, using common letters (or even supplementing your own). For example, i might spell a word "drøs" while a Jutlandic person spells it "drys" because that's how we say that word. Sure there's no rule saying that dialects have to be spelled the same way, but incidentally everyone finds it incredibly useful for dialects to be spelled the same way

Count Roland posted:I think their rules are largely good, but there are many exceptions possible. Especially the rule that a child should be able to draw a flag. Kids suck at drawing and this would limit organizations to. All but the simplest flags. "Child should be able to draw it" rule is massively misunderstood. US flag still counts even though the drawing will almost certainly have the wrong number of stars and has a good chance of the wrong number of stripes, for example.

Waddle Bourgeoidee posted:Why the gently caress did they discard this glorious design? Star was swapping it out for an existing star motif from the capital building that was actually already uses as minor symbol of government, stripes for color because they liked the effect it had when the flag was hanging without wind. Star change unfortunately correct change to for Minnesota specifically even though the original star is nicer in a vacuum, stripes change... much more eh.
