Minnesota has a new flag

[TomC]

It's possible you haven't spent much time in Eastern Oregon.

Absolutely true. I've visited near every state east of The Rockies, but never the west coast.

Pity, you should come visit us!

One thing the three West coast states have in common is a wicked rainshadow effect east of the mountains. There are plenty of regions where wildfires and perpetual drought abound, just a few dozen miles away from verdant rainforest.

I like this one.

I do to. Distinctive and classy.
Tom

I think it should have some blue, but that may be too many colors.

Yeah.
The yellow implies sunshine, blue would imply water. I definitely associate Oregon with water, not Sun.

It's possible you haven't spent much time in Eastern Oregon. The flag strongly resembles a precipitation map of the state:

I think the colors are meant to represent the green of the coastal rainforest on the western side of the Cascade Mountains and the wheat fields and rangeland on the eastern side.

It's a great design.

Yeah, I like it, too. The triangles represent both trees and mountains. Seems perfect for Oregon.

proposed Washington state flag.

Georgia's flag looks like it has Cartman (South Park) encircled by a constellation of stars.

I had to squint my eyes super tight to be able to see that. Are you high by any chance?

I like this one.

It looks like Picasso’s Christmas tree.

You see Cartman? Really?

The "Cartman" is really the Georgia seal.

The "Cartman" is really the Georgia seal.

When you see the flag flying on a flagpole the details of the seal are lost. The general shape is Cartman-like.

 

[Gospel]

It's a natural association my mind often makes, something that's beyond my conscious control.

Passing through Georgia on the way to South Carolina. There's this rest stop, I believe in St. Mary, on I-95, where I get to see Cartman waving at me.

 

[Derec]

Sure. That's why I posted a high res version of the seal.

The general shape is Cartman-like.

I still don't see it. Maybe I need an edible.

You should not drive stoned through Georgia. Weed is still illegal here.

To their credit, it's substantially better than a confederate flag with a cookie.

I don't see it, either. Both are approximately round but that's as far as it goes for me.

It doesn't belong on a flag, though--flags should not have fine detail because they are going to be seen from a distance and likely not flat.

I like this one.

Parent page, please? I'd like to look at the other entries.

ETA: for Oregon's state flag, I'd like its beaver on both sides. California has a bear, so Oregon can have a beaver.

I most wholeheartedly approve of this flag!

This is a good video that is not made by a political radical of either side.

Not gonna lie. It slaps.
