MODERATORS
Too bad they didn't go with the Polaris Tri-color. I agree with Grey that it was the best of the color variations.
I liked this choice. The tri-color seemed a little busy to me.
I agree. I do like the tri color and would have been happy with it, but there’s a quote from whom I cannot remember that essentially is “flag design is finding the perfect flag and then dialing it down a notch”. And to that end, I think it succeeds wonderfully.
It’s modern but classic. Detailed but not busy. Inclusive but not all-encompassing. It’s pretty amazing.
I am glad they changed the star design; I think the new one is much better.
My only gripe with the alterations of the submitted design is the star shape change.
I loved the big points in the cardinal directions with smaller points in between. I dislike this eight-pointed star.
They were both good, but I think they made the more-refined "high-brow" decision by going with fewer colors.
I'm actually jealous of this flag. Only downside is it's kind of hard to see against the blue sky, lol.
I think the 2 tones of blue make it look more like a basic corporate design than "high-brow"
Do you like places with stickers everywhere?
Not particularly, but I'm also not bothered by the presence of more than one color.
Tricolor was better. 120%.
I would have sworn my eternal allegiance to the Polaris Tri-Color. This one is nice, especially for a state flag, but not inspiring.
I recently finished watching that video and NGL the tricolor with less toned colors looked pretty beautiful to me.
I like that they went with the simplified "K" shape for Minnesota (the reverse triangle is really clever visually) but I did also like the more colorful version better. Just a little too plain now for me.
