Title: change the flag
Post by: sys on June 27, 2020, 02:28:37 PM
kansas should take this opportunity to change the flag while it's in the air.  say that we found something racist in it or that we just found out we don't have any mountains, whatever.

Does the old flag get to keep flying during the interim or are they going to #noflag until they get one approved.

I have no idea if there's any hidden racist crap in the Kansas flag but we should change it to just for sucking

just put a big as sunflower in place of the seal. get rid of smaller sunflower. keep ad astra per aspera in there. infinitely better flag

I found the highest res image I could just so you could scroll onto the seal and really take it all in.

I’m going to be honest, I thought the flag with the sunflower above the seal was altered. If you showed me two flags, one with and one without the sunflower, and asked me which was the flag I would have said without. It looks out of place.

Should change it to stars and bars, but substitute sunflowers for the stars.

Sub sunflowers for the bars too.

Like OBz does with his powercat, gE could license out our flag to be the state's for some period of time.

Not tryna be shapecist but when we change our flag let's please keep it a rectangle like have you seen the Ohio flag? wt actual f is that garbage? Also this is a great oppy to distance ourselves from the fact that we clearly hired the same flag designer as Montana.

Ok wait I know I said rectangles only but if we made it in the shape of a sunflower that would be incredibly badass except would be hard for kids to draw.

Like the only kid in class who even has a chance is the kid that is really good a drawing Ninja turtles

the way all the sunflowers are shaped it looks like it started as a square and somebody stretched it in MS Paint to make it a rectangle. And the obvious flag shape is making it Kansas shaped.

also, how many versions of the goddam seal are there? Also also LOL @ putting "Seal" on your state seal.

one of the wavy line semifinalists would have been unique.  The jagged border one is too jaggedy

It's the Mississippi river/Mississippi border. I actually think it's pretty badass, but yeah, probably not going to win.

I bet bottom left and bottom center (which are almost identical anyways besides some colors and some leaves) end up winning.

Post by: cfbandyman on August 18, 2020, 05:08:01 PM
IMO the best design would've been taking the "Mississippi" script from the E1147 semi finalist, put it on the CS7 flag. Would all go together pretty well.

those are all pretty bad. They look like they were designed by a designer of hipster fast-casual restaurant signage (think Super Duper burger:)

(https://images.getbento.com/bzLBN7s8SJKHHUuUhbKd_super_duper_logo_2015.png)

probably the best one is the C521. Was "In god we trust" a compromise or something?

I like the idea of the river but like LMAO that looks like a louisiana flag

The magnolia tree one is the best, if for nothing else it minimizes the clunky "in god we trust."

Also the Kansas flag and seal are elite, nerds.

LOL that's an interesting spot to be in if you love god stuff but aren't so much into the racist stuff because the racists are kinda taking over the god stuff

i bet they already chose it and just paired it with the shield flag to make it look (even) better.
