Some other instantly recognizable flags include Alaska (Big Dipper, though it’s hard to see from far away), New Mexico (sun symbol), Arizona (sunrise), South Carolina (palm tree), Tennessee (weird circle with stars), DC (white with 2 red bars + 3 red stars, Washington’s coat of arms), Maryland (nightmare that it is), and Puerto Rico (blue triangle with a star, 5 red/white stripes).
- labster 5y agoYou named all the best US state flags; it goes downhill pretty fast from there. Hawaii is okay (but what country are we in again?), and Maryland is an acquired taste. Anything with text is a bad idea, as it’s supposed to be seen from a long distance. California’s flag is recognizable without the text, which can’t be said of the other fifteen with text plus circles on a field azure. Dishonorable mention to the corporate logo that is the Colorado flag.
