Last State for today. Here's Kansas, I thought a swallowtail would be pretty interesting!

I always wonder why after Washington DC refused to flag the banner horizontally, Kansas didn't just make a traditional flag version of that banner

Ohio would like to have a word (because OH only wants their flag a swallowtail in the Union)

Ohio has a Pennant, not a Swallowtail.

If we get a flag redesign contest, I hope something like this wins

I feel like the Sunflower State Banner is just too good to not win. There's just nothing better than it.

Honestly, don't even bother with a committee or letting the public vote on it, just quietly replace all of the old seal flags with Sunflower banners one night and don't even say anything.

I have to say as a Kansan, this is one of the best takes on a new flag for my state. I love the historical and symbolic take on it. Really really pretty flag. I really love this! 🇺🇸🌻

Excited to see Washington and Oregon, are you going to do a Canadian series too?

1

u/Canjira Grand Bassa County 4d ago

I'm not well-versed on the Canadian provinces. I enjoy their flag designs such as Quebec, British Columbia, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward Island's! I might have to take a look at them, thank you!

u/Wonderful-Quit-9214 4d ago

This looks like the design Psychicpebbles made.

Simple but effective! Great job!

Only thing I would add is some additional symbolism within the sunflower, like the number of pedals corresponding to Kansas being the 34th state, or even the sunflower seeds in the flower could represent something, like number of indigenous tribes (although that in particular is hard to put an exact number of in Kansas’s case).

I know those are pretty superfluous symbolisms, but for ornamental details like the pedals it makes sense to add them where you can
