-kj Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I'm rolling my eyes at both the anus comment as well as the comments on the story itself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pharos04 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I didn’t even know SC was doing anything with their flag. Glad they didn’t go with the proposed design. Sometimes abstract works better than realistic. https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/31/us/south-carolina-new-flag-backlash-trnd/index.html Proposed design: currently accepted design: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxColonels Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Standardization makes sense, but the proposed design was poorly executed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it turns out looking like anything other than a Gibson ad, I'll be very impressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZapRowsdower8 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) The new city flag craze has moved to Tampa. Nothing official yet, but locals have finally realized that the current look is not great. https://t.co/G2kMm3EWjM All of those proposed replacements are pretty bad.

sportsfan7 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I don't think I would be opposed to them just removing the seal and changing the shape to a more traditional one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake3roo Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 The Tampa flag is amazing. I wish more flags embraced weirder shapes. That said, an update is in order, although I hope they don't sterilize it too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Evansville, IN is getting a new flag, and the finalists are in. https://evansvilleflag.com/ https://wkdq.com/evansville-flag-voting/ Residents can vote here: https://pollunit.com/en/polls/evansvilleflagproject?reloaded=true Finalists: 1. 2. 3. 4. Naturally there are many worrying that the crescents are too evocative of Muslim imagery, because Indiana. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Regardless of the notion of any people worrying about Islamic imagery similarities, 1 and 3 are the best looking of that bunch. The negative space "E" in number 1 is particularly clever. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I like 1 and 3 also, but 1 is really reminiscent of Biden's campaign logo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first one with the negative space E is clever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this has been co-opted by certain...unsavoury types, which is a shame.

Gothamite Posted Wednesday at 03:25 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:25 PM With Juneteenth on the verge of being recognized as a federal holiday, there's a lot of focus on the Juneteenth flag. And I love it. The idea came from a Boston activist, and the design from illustrator Lisa Graf. She describes the symbolism this way: Quote "The Juneteenth flags represent the history, and freedom the American Slaves and their descendants. The design of the Juneteenth flag depicts a bursting "new star", on the horizon. The star represents A NEW FREEDOM, A NEW PEOPLE, A NEW STAR. The red, white, and blue colors communicate that the American Slaves, and their descendants were all Americans." A couple years later, somebody added the date as an alternate version. Major, major downgrade. And now, like with many public domain designs, there are a bunch of unofficial versions. Shame. They haven't improved upon the original. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the need to educate white Americans about a holiday that has largely gone unacknowledged until recently. But spread awareness of the holiday itself, and you don't need to label the flag. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
