My attempt at redesigning New York's flag
(media.kbin.social)
When I was going through redesigning all of the U.S. state flags, this is one of the first designs I made. Here's the symbolism:
-
The colors are reminiscent of the orange, white, & blue pattern used in many of New York's state flag.
- The blue has been replaced with the purple of the Iroquois flag.
-
The white shape in the center holds several meanings.
- It resembles a crown to represent New York being the Empire State.
- It points upward to represent New York's motto: "Excelsior" ("Higher").
- It looks somewhat like tall skyscrapers because duh.
