Reply to comment by AnOwlishSham in A suggested redesign of Washington's flag by AnOwlishSham

No worries! It was named by Congress at statehood, but Washington never got within 2,000 miles of the state. If you're looking for inspiration, I would look at:

the Cascadia flag

Mt Rainier/Tahoma

Pacific Northwest art

I vote for the Cascadia flag!

Thanks. I was starting from the basis of keeping to the current flag's intention of representing the person, but doing so less literally than a portrait of him. But perhaps a redesign needs to go beyond that idea, as you suggest.

Interesting. I like the color bands, how they correspond to the major geographic sections of the state.
