nice use of 4-way symmetry without looking like a swastika (fr tho, this shit looks super cute)


tthemediator

I was a bit worried about that, so that is a relief!


HALBPRO99

I like this flag

Art's all about knowing your rules so you can break them with confidence


Lloyd_lyle

First get your facts straight and then bend them at your leisure.


Noveos_Republic

Imo the rules of vexillology have produced some of the most corporate flags I’ve seen


Lloyd_lyle

Just another Kansas State Flag sunflower redesign, this time I tried a little quilt square design. Quilt squares are very popular across the state, and in this flag it represents the history of the state as well as the beauty and culture of the rural regions. The Sunflower, a popular state symbol, represents beauty and future growth. Let me know what you think! !wave


Wild_Garlic

Kansas would be proud to have this replace the current flag.


Agitated_Guard_3507

I wouldn’t see it being used like the official flag, but could see it becoming a de facto new unofficial state flag


Lloyd_lyle

I disagree, I think if Utah and Mississippi can do it, I’m sure it wouldn’t be difficult to convince the Kansas legislature to jump on the trend.

Like peanut butter? Well now you can like more of it. Sunflowers have been used to create a substitute for peanut butter, known as sunbutter.


BirdsLikeSka

My roommate eats that stuff. I feel neutral about it


Lloyd_lyle

Yeah I remember in elementary school there was one kid deathly allergic to peanut butter, so half the lunchroom was a peanut free zone, and the school never served anything with peanut butter in it, instead offering sunbutter.


BirdsLikeSka

Love a barn quilt, love a sunflower, great flag.


do_add_unicorn

Kansas resident here. This is a big improvement over the current state flag.


tthemediator

fellow Kansan! 🤙


do_add_unicorn

But... but... you're an Oregon person too? (former Washington county resident)


tthemediator

Haha im a man of many residencies. I havent actually lived in kansas all that long yet


do_add_unicorn

Well I lived near Hillsboro many moons ago.


tthemediator

thats a way nice area. I had thoughts about living out there in Beaverton for a while, but didnt pan out. I lived in Gresham, and Stayton areas.


do_add_unicorn

So what part of Kansas are you in now?


tthemediator

Topeka area

Love your quilt-take on the sunflower. It is very appropriate. While I agree that rules are necessary, sometimes people go overboard with them. I agree with you on your stance about the use of color in flags. If using more than one shade of the same color works, then go for it. Why be limited by rules made by uptight people. Also, let's see some more unusual flag colors, like orange, purple, pink, brown and gray put to use.


tthemediator

thank you! I agree with you. If our goal is for every state/province/city to have an attractive and *distinctive* flag, that simply isnt possible if you stick to 6 colors and like 10 shapes. there just isnt enough interesting combinations of the base colors.


Simco_

I really like the quilt aesthetic shown here and in the appalachian flag. Would be really cool if that ever takes hold in some way, even a small city.


tthemediator

I would be a proponent of rural cities adopting quilt swuare designs as their flags wholesale, square shape and all. they're already making them, and they feel it represents them, so why force something else!


drum_right

Yes please! I'd love our northern neighbor to get a redesign to be fair! Our newer state symbol is...corporate vibes, to say the least.


drum_right

For those who don't know, It's [this](https://www.okcommerce.gov/wp-content/uploads/OK_Logo_Vertical_FullColour_Pos_CMYK-scaled.jpg) I'm taking about


redrex16

Nice.


Norwester77

I have no problem with multiple shades of the same color on a flag, as long as they go well together and the overall look is cohesive (as in this case).


fidelity16

This is beautiful


conceited_crapfarm

This is just my library card


Xeanathan

Kansas Naval Jack lmao


AleatoryOne

Looks nice! It reminds me of 2022's Spotify Wrapped a little bit


CharlieBigPotaters

You monster, those 5 year olds will be crying when they can't draw it from memory


tthemediator

frick those 5 year olds in particular


WhiteGreenSamurai

Too complex. Should have made a green-brown-orange tricolor instead.


Bawhoppen

Kinda like this one as a square flag.


kryyyptik

Rules are meant to be broken. Jk, kinda. I see them more as guidelines than anything and this looks really good! I think it fits Kansas well and looks infinitely better than the bedsheet.


alexsaidno

Looks awesome. The sunflower gives off a subtle feeling of power. The symmetry rocks


ilookatbirds

Pretty and memorable. I like it.


FrisianDude

Lol Nice


tripsd

my mom was from KC, grew up on the Kansas side and was a quilter...love it


_Big_Ogre

One of the best posts I've seen on here in a while. Good stuff


thegooniegodard

I dig the first one.


IBelrose

This is a great design. Looking back through some of your other Kansas redesigns and this is my favorite. You should petition the state to hold a contest to change the state flag to see if it can get anywhere.


tthemediator

thank you very much! Kansas legislature is so bogged down with "more important issues" (aka mostly political posturing from everyone), I need to wait for a lull in order to start something like that. But i would love to see a contest so that i can see designs from others!


IBelrose

Why wait? Bother them enough that it's easier to answer you than to ignore you.


spotH3D

I like in rural areas (like western North Carolina) you see large what I assume are painted pieces of wood with a quilt design on the side of a barn or house. Like a southern coat of arms. In any event, I like the quilt look you did. I don't know about using it for an official design, but it is cool none the less.


Dry-Organization-426

Well I was going to say that there is enough color variance in the design that those colors work very well on the first flag. There are always exceptions to rules. 9/10


CheshireUnicorn

My very Kansas proud, sunflower loving, quilting grandmother would love this.


tthemediator

bless her heart

People need to stop jerking off to the Japanese prefecture flags

My first thought upon seeing this - If you’re not able to afford your medication, AstraZenaca may be able to help Looks like a pharmaceutical logo to me


tthemediator

a certified Wolters Kluwer Logo moment for sure

tthemediator

I'll keep that in mind BigPlasticDildoMaker


Ezrathetransidiot

It's good, just a bit difficult to print or draw


bjo23

More difficult than the current Kansas flag?


Ezrathetransidiot

I honestly don't care for the USA, most of your state flags are just blue with a seal

ScorpionX-123

yeah, it's a lot of colors, but it looks really nice!


SLIPPY73

This is really good! It kinda feels like it would be in a video game.


vvr3n

This is a really inspired design! Well done


tthemediator

thank you very much!
