Jul 16, 2022 · Here's my redesign for Connecticut's flag! The basic premise is dividing the flag into the two basic sections of the state: The land of Connecticut itself and the Long Island Sound 'beneath' it.

A bit over a month ago, I got interested in vexillology and set out to redesign the 50 U.S. state flags. My goal was to create a set of designs based on three main principles—consistency, symbolism, and appeal—and I'm very happy with the result! Since this is my first attempt at flag redesigns, feedback is very helpful. Consistency

I have prepared this redesign for the Connecticut under the following premises/symbolism The flag features a deep blue field, reflective of the original blue field in Connecticut's current state flag and reminiscent of the state's historic ties to maritime commerce and naval history. The three vertical stripes in the hoist of the flag are a golden yellow, a color often associated with ...

Consider 8 stars for the 8 counties in the state instead. This feels squished, like you couldn't fit the circle, tree, and Tricolor/Pale in one flag.

Apr 10, 2016 · Wanted to keep the grape while giving it a new look. The purple strip represents the state motto (Qui Transtulit Sustinet; "He who transplanted still sustains"), the white field represents prosperity and the green strips represent the rivers Connecticut and Housatonic.

I know it breaks some of the principles of flag design, but I just wanted to play around with some ideas. Thoughts?

Jan 8, 2021 · The breakdown of all the amazing symbolism in this design: The Colours: White: represents the state’s fight for liberty and independence. Blue: represents the states maritime history and the Atlantic Ocean.
