To add as a Minnesotan, I feel old wavy is just too corporate and will be the new state flag. Us Minnesotans are used to being disappointed in the 11th hour ETA: I was thankfully wrong and it appears MN is going with the good Ole tri color ETA 2: the council changed the flag design removing the stripes

As a fellow Minnesotan, I absolutely cannot believe the commission got rid of the Starflake in favor of Old Wavy during the latest round of voting. The Starflake won a public opinion poll with over 12,000 respondents and it was also the commission's top vote getter in the vote to decide the six semi-finalists. But then it tied for last in the vote to decide the three finalists, thus getting eliminated. What changed?

Cannot be understated how much "looks like a flag" is essential for designing a state flag. The tricolor is the only viable option bc the others are arguably banners and would look more at home on a dorm room wall instead of in front of the state house.

The only reason I don't like Starrise (an otherwise good flag) is that I'm positive that I've stayed at an inexpensive hotel with exactly that logo. Or maybe a retirement home. It looks 'residential', like the flag of Minnesota's property development consortium, or something. I guess some people would say that's what a state is...

As a Minnesotan closely following this race, I've been a fan of Old Wavy since the beginning, and I still like it, but this video did raise the standing of Polaris Tricolor in my estimation (which is good, because it is now our flag). Also, it amuses me greatly to have one of my favorite KZfaqrs commenting on my state's flag redesign ;)

What is Ohio if not an inverted triangle? Also, I personally prefer "Old Wavy" over "Star Rise". "Star Rise" is the epitome of boring, just a word inside it away from being the logo of an agricultural company.
@RegebroRepairs 5 ай бұрын
I like the idea of the Old Wavy, but it's hard to make and paint. So it gets a no. Good point about hanging Star Ride vertically. So I agree, Polaris Tricolor is good and can work even on an international level. And, kids can draw it in crayon.
@Bxu021 5 ай бұрын
I think Old Wavy is a pretty cool flag design. It's not every day you see something like that with no straight lines, but it doesn't particularly look messy at all. I like how the two blues, one white, and kind of muted yellow work well together. It gives off a welcoming vibe that's not too sharp or industrial. Plus, it kind of reminds me of the Cathay Pacific logo, which is one of my favorites. Old Wavy, like the Cathay Pacific logo, is simple but unique and has a certain charm to it. I prefer the third option for the Polaris design. The strong green color in the original option feels too harsh between the light blue and white colors. The third option's color scheme makes more sense to me. The sky is blue, the snow is white, and the landscape is a lush green. Although, if the third option kept the same colors as the first option, it would still work for me.

Old Wavy looks like a 1990s-era software splash screen. The only thing missing is a background gradient.

The moment I saw the Polaris tricolor I was like THAT ONE! It really is shocking that the K or inverted triangle hasn't been done before. As Grey said, it feels so natural in the context of flags.

Oh. My ranking was the reverse. Old Wavy looks distinctive and evocative, Star Rise has a similar idea but simplified, where as Polaris Tricolor looks like the flag of some small country I've never heard about.

My own ranking: Old Wavy, then the tricolor, then the Star Rise. It's important, in my view, that the symbols in flags stand for something actually distinct about the place they honor. Every place has green land and blue skies. Every northern place cloaks its hills in snow. But to put the Aurora and the river in the shape of the state bird? That creates a meaningful distinction! It's sad that it doesn't have a representation of the Thousand Lakes, but neither do the other two. It'd have to be vert ten roundels azure, or something like that, to properly evoke "lakes" and not just "lake"!

As a Minnesotan and also a graphic designer, I would love to see the Polaris Tricolor flag become our state flag. Star Rise is too simplistic imo, Old Wavy looks more like "modern art" or maybe a painting rather than a flag and would also not age well, but the tricolor flag represents our state the best out of the 3 finalists. It represents our lakes, grasslands, snow, and being the North Star state.
