Hi guys! This is actually my first blog, I've been planning to make one but never gotten around to it, but I figured with the new blog update that I would do one. Today, I'll be showing you my top 10 favorite US state flags!
10. Oklahoma
This flag is nice and honors the Native American history of the state. It would rank much higher without the text though.
9. Rhode Island
The design of this flag is nice and the anchor on it makes me think of the beauty of the Rhode Island coast. I also like how it is a square. The colors are kind of bland though.
8. Texas
Texas' flag is nice and follows all the principles of designing a good flag but is a little generic.
7. California
This flag is cool and honors the history of California. Normally I don't like text on flags, but on this it honors it's original flag as an independent republic.
6. Maryland
Maryland's flag is complex and weird but somehow still manages to be a good flag.
5. Alaska
This flag just looks good and with Polaris and Big Dipper on it honors its northern location.
4. Colorado
The colors and shapes on Colorado's flag are all simple but recognizable. For some reason I don't like the C though, and some mountains would look good on it.
3. South Carolina
The palmetto and crescent just look nice and honor the history of South Carolina in the revolutionary war.
2. Arizona
The colors and patterns on Arizona's flag are just beautiful. I like how the bottom half is a solid color and the top has rays moving out, like a sunset over the ocean. I don't know why the ocean, since Arizona isn't on the ocean, but it looks nice.
1. New Mexico
And the worst flag award goes to...
All the flags that are literally just the state seal on a navy background!
Boring colour
Sizes of them
The stars are arranged in the pattern of the Big Dipper constellation. (It's not exactly a constellation but that's a different story...)
The size of the top right star is to signify the North Star.
I personally love the colors of the flag, and I love the simplicity.
...but that's just my opinion.
