But no other state flag has a different pattern on the reverse side!



Is it true that for many states, the flags date back to the Civil War when they were used as regimental banners? That would seem to track with the whole seal-on-blue thing.

This wouldn't be that bad if he used a palette of 6 or 7 colors that look ok together, even if each flag used only 3-4 colors. I think a more consistent way of presenting state symbols might have helped too.

Who said the writing has to be ugly, though? Here is a proposal where the phrase is turned into an elegant graphical element.



It was either that or using Wingdings, but the latter is more for the GBS thread I think.

Seems like a better flag for Middle-earth

In case anyone was curious about the results of a recent best flag poll:



Pretty safe choices for the winners. Worst country flags (ignoring minor territories) are Zambia, Haiti, and Belize. The part about most overrated flag is great, though I'm biased toward historical designs like Gran Colombia.
