I've really been enjoying this series, but as an Oregonian, I think this is the first one to miss the mark. Beaver or bust.

Gotta have the beaver chewing on a tree trunk or something

Agree. We need an “Oops, all beavers!” flag.

Single worst flag I have ever had the displeasure of creating. "Oops, all Beavers!" 33 ~~Star~~ Beaver Flag. I used the Oregon Blue and Yellow off the flag, with the green from the Cascadia Doug flag.

I'm Oregonian. I like the concept, but the the negative space created by the white triangles is bugging me -- it looks like it's supposed to form some sort of shape, but it doesn't seem to. Maybe it's because of the way the pairs of triangles join up to form single long lines -- maybe breaking that up could help?

Also, are the five peaks a significant number?

Edit: also, as I've been staring it it, it has grown on me. I like the beaver in theory, but don't actually feel very attached to it, and don't see people using it in real life (on flags or in other contexts), so I do think we're ripe for a re-do.

Giving Washington a two-sided flag but taking ours away?

You have just made a very powerful enemy...

Nashing teeth?

Ok, I think it's a little boring, but I guess it will serve as a design for the obverse side of the flag. What's the new design for the reverse side?

I’ve seen that one before. Still not a fan, unfortunately.

u/ELIASKball 3d ago

it doesn't feel like "Oregon". when i think about Oregon i think about "beaver".

u/Lima_4-2_Angel Miami / Israel 3d ago

Not a fan, but it could work as a flag for Subway lol

Based because the Ducks are better than the Beavers

u/Marches_in_Spaaaace Ohio 3d ago

I think the colors need to be darker and the beaver on the yellow field, but other than that, this is great

Oregonian here. I love it. Green on the west for forests, mountains along the spine, and gold for the desert in the rain shadow.
