I 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.
