NOTE: Not to be confused with the flag of Ireland.

This video is actually what got me interested in vexillology! After watching it, I thought, “Hmm, maybe I could try making the state flags better,” and made a whole set of redesigns.

On March 15, 1925, this flag was adopted by the U.S. state of New Mexico. It’s a widely liked flag for (imo) good reason. The design is simple and striking, the colors go very well together and fit a relatively arid state, and the Zia sun symbol does a great job distinguishing this flag from others.

I prefer the first icon for the same reasons that snooggums brought up. It’s simpler, its solid color fits the rest of the design better, and it’s more widely applicable.

My favorites are probably the flags of and They have really appealing colors imo, and the symbols are great as well (especially Niiagata’s).

It represents the blood that will be spilled in Utah’s conquest for world domination.

In all seriousness, it’s meant to evoke a rocky canyon. Additionally, the white is meant to be mountains (hence the shape), and the blue is sky.

Rn, I’m just on kbin.earth (another Kbin instance that’s much more stable than kbin.social rn). Working great for me.
