I will say the flag has grown on me now recently. If any of you all find a place that makes Tiff's flag please let me know.

Illinois is finally looking to change their flag (thank GOD) The competition of submitting a new flag will be open September 3rd-October 18th via ilsos.gov From there no more than 10 flags will be chosen by the committee by December 2024.

This is the current flag of Illinois. It definitely needs a revamp.

Edit #1: Thanks for pointing out the website's name and how the I should be lowercased.

Update #1 : Contest now closed. 🙂 I don't think they're going to make the submissions public, at least not for a while, so it'll be even more interesting to see what their 10 choices are in December. I know they're going to be great. 😁

Update #2: The contest is open online NOW (ilsos.gov) One vote per day. Voting ends on February 14th, 2025. PLEASE vote to change the flag to something good. 🙏🙏🏻🙏

The only two flags worth voting for are the rising sun and the 1918 Centennial.

Update: Last day of voting is this Friday! (2/14/25) It takes less than a minute to vote.

Didn't pass. ☹️

The State of Maine Has Chosen a Final Design!!

This is the new design of the Maine state flag that will be voted on by the public in November!

Personally, I feel that this design will be spectacular flying across a state that has become a second home to me as I've been living in the Portland area for work this summer. I can safely say that if I was registered to vote in Maine I'd be thrilled to have this as my official state flag. I only hope it passes this coming fall. It's been interesting seeing all of the various 'pine tree flag' designs that several members of the community had made. While I didn't see all of the submissions, just this specific design being worked on, I'm told that many of the submissions will be made public for viewing.

I'm not the biggest fan of the fact that the green is two-toned, an opinion I held in the final drafting meeting, but I believe that it may grow on me. It's a nice touch that will be visible up close and look nice on TV broadcasts while not being distracting from a distance. And from a distance you'll still be able to tell that it's a green eastern pine tree. I like the asymmetrical tree, it’ll stand out a lot. The background color, which is called ‘buff’ is also distinct and should look great at a distance.

The design prompt was to base the modern flag on the 1901 pine tree design. And the panel of Maine judges went through a lot and I mean a lot of design configurations for the pine tree. They were happy with this one, the Maine Secretary of State was happy with this one, and NAVA was happy with it after we redesigned the tree several times.

I'm excited to say that I was a (very small) part in the final drafting process this past Sunday (Aug. 4, 2024) with the designers and more experienced NAVA members. In attendance was our amazing Secretary Ted Kaye, and the Maine Secretary of State: honorable Shenna Bellows, and the designer Adam Lemire, among other vexilographers. I'm happy I can finally talk about this publicly, even a day not talking about it drove me crazy.

As I was present for the final drafting meeting, for any interested in more details can send me an ask or reblog and I'll respond as best I can. I won't have all the answers seeing as I'm not exactly the most senior member of NAVA, but also consider this as a general blog AMA.

I can't wait to welcome a new changed state flag later in 2024! Have a great day y'all! (Just realized this is two posts in less than a week, NEW RECORD!)

Anybody else here with Illinois connections?

Illinois is choosing a new state flag. Voting has begun on the finalists.

I voted for this entry. Though I think the star should be more yellowish. It tends to be difficult to render gold as a color.

 Voting is open for people to choose which of the 10 finalists for the Illinois state flag redesign most deserves to replace the current model. The original call for artists, or otherwise, to submit their suggested designs saw more than 5,000 entries pour in with the Illinois Flag Commission. From that panoply, the commission narrowed the field down to just 10 options. The current flag simply displays the state's seal against a white background. Among the options presented by the committee are the state's 1918 centennial flag and the 1968 sesquicentennial flag.

The current design is BORING. It is what vexillologists call a "seal on a bedsheet" – the state seal on a plain white, navy, or beige (hello New Jersey!) background.

if new york ever gets a flag redesign EVER we should all vote to make it with a punk rat eating pizza over a blue background

just looked up their flag and it DESPERATELY needs to be redesigned- and this is a brilliant idea for how it should be done

[unaffiliatedpangolin]

What the fuck is this???

This is Utah’s new state flag? This thing is dog shit.

They created some flat, MS paint looking sad excuse of a flag. I liked Utah’s flag for its use of a beehive and “industry” motto. This new rag they’ve adopted is a sad, minimalist, uninspiring, a pointless half assed facsimile of what they had.

Go back to being a proper state. Stop this foolishness, stop trying to modernize for the sake of being “modern”.

Mercs as national/state flags. Not the nations themselves, but their flag, based off of vibes

Admin likes the idea of doing US state flags, so let's go with that
