VampyrRabbit Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I like it. Striking design and nice use of gold, red, black and white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 It's solid, though based on what it's replacing, it was gonna be an improvement either way. What exactly is the symbolism on the second finalist? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly is the symbolism on the second finalist? The entry was titled “Past, Present, Future” so I imagine it’s a plant “growing” into the future of the city.

BadSeed84 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I think they should've kept the colors from the old flag, the winner is fine but replace the black with navy. Instead it looks like a spin off of the Maryland flag instead of the city having its own color scheme. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m from Maryland and I truthfully don’t think the state flag is all that great, nor is it the best one 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueYankee26 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I like how they kept the Maryland colors so it screams Maryland without using the patterns from the flag 1 Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaGrandeOrange Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I like both of the other finalists better but there's no way to do worse than the original. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone eventually gets tired of picking them after 6 or 8. It's a cost-benefit thing. 1 Quote Most Liked Content of the Day -- February 15, 2017, August 21, 2017, August 22, 2017 ///// Proud Winner of the CCSLC Post of the Day Award -- April 8, 2008 Originator of the Upside Down Sarcasm Smilie -- November 1, 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
