The New Mexico flag is cited as being one of the better ones. Our flag in Oregon has two different sides, neither one of which is great.

- w-ll 7y agoI've always been a fan of South Carolina's flag. It's a moon and a palm tree.
- dx87 7y agoThat flag had always confused me because most flags with a crescent moon are from Islamic countries. Until I learned that it was the South Carolina flag, I always figured it was the flag of a country that had people frequently immigrating to the USA.
- w-ll 7y agoTo be honest, I didn't know the history of the flag until after your post. It makes more sense how the elements where from revolutionary war regiments fighting for the south. In stark contrast, for me, it's relaxing, like a memory of a warm summer night laying in a hammock. But then I guess, that might make it a bad design.
- dreamcompiler 7y agoI love the New Mexico flag. We use it everywhere here. It's beautiful and carries great symbolism, yet it's so simple every toddler can draw it from memory.
- jessaustin 7y agoFor some time I thought the symbol on the NM flag was too small. Then I realized that the tiny size symbolized a few people huddled together in the vast empty desert, which is certainly appropriate.
- Zancarius 7y agoIt's also the only US state flag to contain neither the colors blue nor white. I've always had a tremendous fondness for the flag, in part because of the cultural homage included by the Zia sun symbol, and as you mentioned: It's instantly recognizable, easy to replicate by hand, and has a stark beauty not unlike the deserts in this state.
