Linopa Films thanks :)
As a native Mainer myself I consider the Maine flag the best in the Union
Linopa Films Nice to see a fellow Tim 😉
why do i feel like a lot of inspiration was taken from hello internet?? great job anyways!!
+Feng Edward the video was partly inspired by hello internet
Washington’s flag may have a seal, and words, and a picture of George Washington, but it’s very recognizable because it’s *literally the only green flag in America*
that one person Just make Washington’s portrait a bit more abstract, and the flag would be so much better
You're forgetting the Sate of Jefferson. The 51st state, also green.
@@jakeradcliff3652 It's not a state, a Reign.
@@crystalwolf5050 me too.
I live in Washington, and our flag is one of the worst flags ever made anywhere on this whole earth. Except Hawaii. Hawaii's flag is awful.
“I don’t think any of the flags will change for a while.”
*Mississippi has joined the chat.*
True
And Massachusetts/Utah
@John Smith Mississippi has the best state flag transition I’ve ever seen. biggest flag upgrade in the nation
@John Smith it’s old flag was like top 5 worst now it’s new flag is like top 5 or 10 best
@@SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand The old flag is best
Florida: Turn that seal into an orange sun. Perfect
we cant remove it r we would just be alabama 2
No, the Florida flag is a gorgeous piece to hang on a wall. It’s plenty distinguishable on the flagpole at distance. The closest flag to it is Alabama, but Alabama is just a no symbol. Fitting for that state.
As a Floridian I approve.

I think the Alaskan flag has a *_stellar_* design.
HEHEHEHE
that sucked
Oh god

Sean Wilson as a man who appreciates a good pun, I liked that
As an Alaskan, I died a little
Sean Wilson jacks films says that flag is bad not an opinion but the fact
Josue Reyes IKR i tried
Flags can still break rules, For example South Africa has 6 colors but it's still good, And Croatia has a "seal" but it's also pretty good
I agree that flags can break the rules and still be good. I briefly mentioned this in the video when I said how Colorado's flag has four colors but is still good. I probably could have gone into more depth, though.
Croatia is still bland to me.
Mexico even if they put a seal onto it, it still have a striking representation. Same as Brazil when the words can be ignored from far away.
True. There are always exceptions to the rules.
Colorado technically still has "text" because it represents C.
As someone who has lived in Colorado their whole life, I can testify Colorado is completely obsessed with our state flag. Like you said there are hats, shirts, mugs, key chains. Another popular one is people LOVE to get Colorado flag tattoos. It is quite a cool flag indeed.
As a native of New Mexico, it's the same here with our flag. You go to any gift shop in the state, and the Zia symbol is on literally everything. It's also one of the most popular tattoos to get in the state
i honestly thought it was a supermarket logo at first
thats not an insult but
My top 5:
1: South Carolina
2:Texas
3:Colorado
4:New Mexico
5: Tennessee
my fav flag is maryland
This video is under appreciated.
AGREE!
This video copied a Ted talk lol
Voide still enjoyable though
I don't think Georgia's belongs in your "hopeless" category. It's like Wyoming's; take out the seal, and it's a fine flag.
SnowLeopard84 fangirl Georgia's flag is recognizable, it does stand out from the rest
It's in the hopeless category because if you take out the seal it is literally the original CSA Flag.
Google the CSA Flag go to images because the one in the featured snippet is the Virginian Battle Flag. The CSA Flag is literally Georgia's Flag without the seal.
They might need to change the netire thing or maybe leave it as is, because the seal doesn't look too bad. I say that they do a complete overhaul though
no it's the best
yes i live in Georgia, and i think if its "hopeless", its like saying that a homeless person will die of starvation and its body will be thrown into an incinerator to that homeless person
Ted Kaye: No lettering or seals
Literally almost all of the USA: *sweats in vexillology*
Colorado, South Carolina,Texas, New Mexico: have well designed state flags
Other US states: let's slap a seal into a blue flag and call it a day
Sad ohio noises
dont forget maryland
My state flag: just use a *BEAR*
This should be shown to the Maine state legislature lol
Lol i live in maine and i can relate LOL ESPACALLY ELSWORTH
lmao yeah our flag sucks :"")
Hey be nice
Washington state is an exception. It's green (distinct color) and it does not have a traditional seal. It has the face of George Washington, which makes sense because of where it gets the name of the state from. The flag stands out from the rest like a flag is supposed to do.
While the Illinois flag sucks rocks, Chicago has an awesome flag
I agree, it does look good. It also kinda looks like the flag of Argentina
As from Illinois I totally agree
i love the Illinois flag
Hear me out, at least it’s not *blue*
No
In my state of maryland the flag is EVERYWHERE
HIPSTERS FOR TRUMP bruh so true, md pride
BloodWolf word
Sorry for your ugly flag
Chase Vision i like it. What does tour flag look like?
Chase Vision it’s not ugly. If you’re from Maryland you have at least one item or object with the flag on it. We love our flag. A LOT and in Annapolis that’s all you can see and we love it
This is likely the best presentation I've ever seen that makes the case for improving state flags. Outstanding video, Linus!
Thank you!
Keep it up, the both of you! You are both incredibly underrated!
oh hi!
This is stolen from the Ted talk you linked in the description.
I'm proud of my New Mexico State flag I think it really captures history with the Spanish colors and the Zia symbol really represents heritage and unique and it really shows who our pepole are
I agree. A lot of people consider it the best state flag and I can see why. Being a Colorado native, I'm biased to prefer the Colorado flag over New Mexico's flag, but you guys have a great flag as well.
I have the New Mexico flag across my dashboard and it looks pretty good.
Nah I just see it as the Allsup's flag
Plus, the Zia Symbol is a great simple tattoo design to represent ones state
I agree its in my top 3 favorite us state flags. I am really dissapointed in my state flag of Oregon.
I love thoughtful videos like this one you've made. Maryland has the distinction of having a truly unforgettable flag -- I've made fun of its eye-twisting design in the past, but I'd never call it *bad*, because it does exactly what a flag is supposed to do: represent. Alabama's and New Mexico's flags are my favorites, because they're so simple and striking.
4:38 Actually, if you count the flags he showed, it's EXACTLY half of the state flags that are just SOABS (seal on a bed sheet) designs.
Colorado is my favorite, i also like arizona and new mexico
personally I like the Maryland flag, like it is so weird that there is literally no one who wouldn't recognize it instantly.
Yenji Jem Colorado is Best
I think we should change the Illinois flag with the Chicago city flag. Look it up it looks much much better than that crappy Illinois flag
Declan Kelly I agree
Agreed. The Colorado flag is awesome.. and it is everywhere you look.
Such a simple but well made video. Great sound and visuals, it really shows how much work you've put into it.
Awesome video, I'd love to see more. Keep it up!
Nicolás Torchia Thank you :)
This was an awesome video ! You can really see the hard work that was put into it ! Brilliant job !
Didn't expect this video to be so great. Amazing filmmaking, marvelous editing, and delightful storytelling.
❤️❤️❤️TEXAS!!! (Sorry I have a deep love for my state)
Donald Trump same
Donald Trump yeah, I've been reading up on it. I think it's so cool how munch history our state has.
Donald Trump it sounds awesome, I think it would be cool The to have the come and take it flag and the Texas flag combined to show our history and rebelliousness.
Donald Trump that's cool I hope you can find one it would be cool to see the final product
Did you know Texas lost a war with Colorado? :O yeah!Texas couldn't even win a war with Colorado!WTF TEXAS????thats rediculous!
#ColoradansFTW
The California flag is quite good. Yes, it has writing but it’s only two words and they are boldly printed and easy to read. Plus the grizzly bear alone doesn’t get across the forceful statement that the word republic does. The Bear Flag Republic.
it can stay, just for that memorability factor, its TOO iconic to get rid of, just like Ohio's flag's unique shape.
Montana is only one word, and it's boldly printed and easy to read. That doesn't change the fact that the writing is terrible and an indication that the flag designer failed at the job of making a flag.
-
Texas was also a republic just like California was. In fact, unlike California, the Republic of Texas was recognized as an independent country for an entire decade, whereas the California Republic wasn't recognized by any other nation and only existed for 25 days.
If any state has the right to use the word "Republic" on their flag, it's Texas. But they don't, because realize that they can represent the *IDEA* of a republic on their flag without actually writing the word "REPUBLIC". That's what their star represents. It's the reason why Texas is one of the most, if not THE most loved flag of the US states.
-
In fact, ironically, California *ALSO* realized that they could use a single star to represent independence because they also have a star on their flag. But... that star represents Texas.
I'm not even joking. The star on California's flag represents the Republic of Texas.
-
California's flag isn't bad; there are much, MUCH worse, but it's not great either. It would be so much better if it focused more on the bear and less on the words. If they really cared about their republic so much they could have done the same thing Texas did: make a symbol to represent that republic.
You Californian? I am
But surely the flag should shout California without have to have the word written on it?
There are exceptions to every rule.
California's flag, in particular, has significant cultural connection with the lettering on their flag. For them, having "California Republic" there is a matter of pride. At this point, the identity behind the letting is strong enough that it now belongs there. And that is what truly makes a flag "good".
As a Foreigner
Guessing your 50 states flag on settera is pure NIGHTMARE for me
Amazing video!! I'm definitely referring to this for the rest of my State Flag Redesign series!

Tims tims everywhere
This is so creatively made I love this
Hell yeah, Colorado!
I barley ever find anyone else from Colorado on RUclips
You have found me
Mee froom caloradoo
Colorado, my HOOOOOOMMMEEE
@@ktoabentcent6528 ikr
I think the Rhode Island flag is under appreciated. It has lettering but only the word HOPE, a very easy word to memorize. Not the name of the state.
Also I think the fact that it is a square is symbolic of how it is the smallest state.
Maybe that’s just bias but who cares
I think Iowa California and Hawaii are not “just ok.” They’re actually pretty good.
Kolin Martz I agree, but I might be a bit bias due to the state I live in
Edit: Hawaii's isn't bad but is still ugly
YES IOWA THANK YOU
Yea iowa is good but the word iowa doesn't need to on the flag
Hawaii has a flag within a flag lol.
The Iowa flag would be great if the text was removed and the eagle was made the main focus.
Hey man, I just found your channel but I'm already a big fan! I've had so many ideas for videos like yours but have never had the motivation to actually make them. Seeing another person my age putting their ideas out onto the internet is really great. You've inspired me to give my ideas more consideration :)
Thanks, dude! Glad you like my stuff! I know it's hard, but you should definitely make some of your ideas into videos.
Awesome video btw!
Maryland sorta breaks the " keep it simple rule" bc as a kid I was never really able to draw the flag from memory lol. But it does stand out from the rest of the U.S flags and we have it on pretty much everything; hats, socks, blankets, shirts, sweaters, shorts etc. Us Marylanders love our flag
hello cause its dope af
Hell yeah? MD pride!
Living here in Maryland (the state with the coolest flag in my opinion) I can find the flag on literally anything that a tourist would like to buy, and in general that people wear. Socks, Clothes, Cups, Glasses, Things for your car, and even pencils, all can be found sporting the Maryland Flag. It’s because it’s cool to look at and is one of the most distinguishable flags of the US
And it’s history has meaning to it, however controversial. The Yellow and Black symbolizes George Calvert, First Lord Baltimore, the founder of the Maryland colony. The Red and White cross represents the battleflag of southern rebels during the Civil War.
Since Maryland remained in the union despite being under the mason Dixon line, many men in the southern regions of Maryland took up arms against the union, and to prevent confusion, used the red and white flag that is now in the modern one as their battle-flag and unofficial ceded state flag.
Just because they sell it on clothes, does not make it good. Lots of other states do that too. Your point is null and void
This video is delightful!! Great to revisit 2 years later!!
This is one of my favorite videos on yt
not to be a triggered viewer but the sheild on the Oklahoma flag does look like a seal it is not a seal
Ok
You're right! I'm from Oklahoma and that is most definitely not a seal. It's an Osage nation buffalo shield!
@@haddoxnh yeah, my state Connecticut always gets confused with SOABS flags
I would say Nevada has pretty good potential you just need to blow up the sage and stars to the middle and get rid of the words simple.
Very good video! Well done!
You could just take away the seal for Oregon and just have the back as the full flag. It is a bit weird but unique for Oregon to have two different sides, and if Oregon changes its flag it would probably just take the back beaver...
Maryland has the best flag
Yep
Lord Spoice nah texas has the best flag
Md Pride!
nah I say Arizona
Lord Spoice yup
Thank you for showing the Colorado flag! Yes, our flag is everywhere here. :)
Rockslide Studios Henry let’s go Colorado. I was so happy when he showed it
I love Colorado
Born and raised but they always like to brag about our state
Henry Falconetti ikr I love CO it's my home state
Yep, We love our good ol’ flag!
I'm not sure if I agree with this 100%. I'm Nevadan, and quite like our flag. I actually have a shirt with its emblem on it. The flag might not be the most beautiful from a vexillological perspective but it holds a sentimental appeal. The symbolism is also clear -- there's a silver star for us being the Silver State, the words "Battle Born" indicate that we entered the U.S. during the Civil War, and the Sagebrush is our state flower. And our neighbor to the west (California) might have lettering but from what I see the design is incorporated into t-shirts, drinking glasses, posters, and a bunch of other merch. They seem happy with it.
Just my opinion :D I respect those who disagree.
Idk Why But The Music And Your Voice Make Me Cry
And I Also Like The Simple
Maryland, Texas, Arizona and California are the best
Maryland Pride!
Texas
Arizona
Also to make people look at your flag and instantly know it's your country, it needs to be unique. You can see from the USA flag everyone knows it, (apart from malaysia it looks like a copy) and the UK flag, everyone knows that too, that's because no one else has the same flags as you. So it makes it easier for people to know that your flag represents your country.
Hey, I noticed you put my states flag many times (Tennessee) but I think we can all agree that it fits the booklet very well
Felt like the quality of a popular channel, but then I realized I misread 1.5k as 1.5 million. That's solid evidence you're underrated in my opinion, when I didn't question it until I noticed.
0:50 I never liked these rules, because some of the best and most memorable flags in history break these rules.
Panzer Man there really are not many flags that go by these rules.
You don't have to follow all the rules, just most of them.
Which flags would you use as an example?
These rules are more of commonalities between good flags.
Panzer man Your profile picture looks like the glorious Scottish flag. Alba gu bràth
1:49 you forgot North Carolina
n8nks77 North Carolina seems decent to me. Certainly not top tier, but not terrible either. The way it breaks the lettering principle of vexillology allows it to follow another, be distinctive. If you take the scrolls and lettering away it just looks like an upside down Texas and Texas an upside down NC.
1. I agree the flag is good.
2. I am from NC
I think he is right about North Carolina’s being pretty good, but not great. I feel like it could use a little redesign, to what I don’t know, but over all it isn’t too bad.
Also from the great NC, and the true Carolina.
n8nks77 I'm from NC to
I am from North Carolina too and I think our flag is okay.:-)
Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and subscribe because:
1. It's a good and informative video.
2. You included my local flag, the Scanian flag. I love you for that.
U earned a sub great video
Take a look at the Australian state and territory flags. They are practically all the same except for Northern Territory. Please do a video on them!
Well, at least my flag was decent. (California)
you have a bear on your flag!! focus on the bear!! make it bigger, scarier... remove the "claifornia republic" text and just enlagre the bear... that's how i would improve it... you??
I don't think the bear needs to be bigger and scarier, it's fine the way it is. I think I'd remove the text "California Republic" though. That's all I would do.
6:08
Actually the California flag is in the bad section.
NyleDaBeast No, that's in the OKAY section.
Viva Mexico Sorry.
North Carolina is one of the bests to it just has 2 dates which not many people know what they stand for. But if you look up the dates they are a big piece of North Carolina’s history and that’s why I think it’s one of the best and I’m proud of that. I’m also a little biased because I live in North Carolina.
Flags don't have to be simple to be good, the same goes for any other art form. All flags have to be is original (even from a distance) and aesthetically pleasing, this can be done with both simple and complicated designs. The flag of Venice is aesthetically pleasing and original, making it a good flag, even if it's complicated.
This applies to all art forms, like I said, paintings, music, industrial design, architecture, both simple and complicated designs can look equally beautiful and be equally as effective.
The idea that every flag has to adhere to strict rules or it's not good, is a way of thinking that should be avoided in art. Just like with music, there are no real laws that govern if a song sounds good or not, more so very general guidelines, which are heavily affected by culture.
The seals on bedsheets designs are bad because they're unoriginal and because they're simply not flag designs but seals printed on blue cloth.
Also lettering on flags is fine, I don't know why someone came up with that rule of it being universally bad and why it's being followed like law, it's probably the silliest of these vexillographical rules. The fact California's flag has "California Republic" on it is what makes the flag unique and it doesn't take away from its overall aesthetic. Same can be said for Brazil, for instance, or even the flag of Saudi Arabia.
I love my Ohio flag :)
Same here
I finally found a fellow Ohioan
Hello my penant-flagged brethren
Yess
I love that Ohio's flag is the only one that isn't a rectangle!
I love my state (PA) but it’s flag is horrific. A seal, blue in the back like every other one that has a seal, and it’s just a cluster of symbols
Though, imo, its the most recognizable out of all the seal flags. The horses give it away so its easy to tell.
+name
Pennsylvania is only trivially different from Michigan. When waving from a flag pole 100 feet away, the two flags would look identical.
I think all the seal flags are terrible, but if I *HAD* two pick which one is the most memorable, it would either be Washington or Louisiana. There's frankly nothing unique about the Pennsylvania flag.
PA has a wider seal and the horses are black
I like the PA flag and that it looks like others doesn't bother me.
Fuck you, P.A flag is the best flag.
I think they all look great!
very interesting and great video
Wyoming’s flag would be really good if they removed the seal.
Yeah Colorado!
Hello,
And welcome to another episode of fun with flags!!
4:54 we got a Tim flying the mighty Nail and Gear!
Where the hell is the California flag.
Luis R. same for nevada
Luis R. 6:07
Luis R. A bear with a white background and red ground and a star
It’s with North Carolina and Louisiana in the “It’s pretty good but could be better” group.
The end of the video
How do you have only 300 subs?
I made my own version of a redesigned PA State Flag. It's a green banner with the Keystone symbol in the center, flanked by 2 stars. The Keystone because the keystone state. The 2 stars because we were the 2nd state, and the Green represents the woods. Because Pennsylvania means Penn's Woods.
This video is amazing
The Missouri Flag just needs to get rid of the seal. The twenty-for stars in the center, in a circle is nice (twenty fourth state to join, in the center of the country, and the circle pays homage to the original US flag), but the seal needs to go.
I agree with you on that. The colors reflecting French influences and the stars are a nice symbolism without the seal.
I love the Coloradan flag. Hands down the best state flag
Mike Rotch agreed
*ahem* hands down the best state
you're right,it is the best state!
But then you think about that C which is Text and another RUclipsr said light separates dark for a good flag. Colorado has The C as red touching blue and they are both dark colors.
Sorry to ruin it
XxMegaXx Yo What
Massachusetts flag is 10/10
It has symbolism
It uses 3 basic colors
It’s easy to draw by memory
It’s easy to recognize from far way
Welcome to Florida, may I take the coat you'll never have to use?
Colorado!
yea but what about brazil
I think Brazil still works even with the words on it. The rule about no text is there for two reasons:
1) Flags are meant to represent things and if you need to put the name of the thing on your flag, then the rest of the flag isn't doing a good enough job of representing the thing.
2) Text is usually too small to read when a flag is far away
In regards to #1, the Brazil flag doesn't say "BRAZIL" in big letters on it, and the rest of the flag is pretty iconic and representative so it's good there.
As far as #2 goes, the motto on Brazil's flag is too small to read, so I think it doesn't need to be there.
Brazil is still an amazing flag though. It's sort of like Rhode Island's flag; It would probably be a slightly better without the "hope" banner, but it's still way better than all the flags with complicated seals on them.
Thanks, It really makes me to make a basic flag not seals or lettering or too much color
So going off of what symbols people use instead of the flag, which would you use to make a new Maine state flag? The lobster, the moose, or the state silhouette?
I live In the state of New York and my flag is not good....
IMO NY should take one of the city flags that use the Dutch tri color (blue, white, and orange) and put the state seal in the middle instead of the city seal. Definitely better than seal on blue background trash we have now
Don't worry I'm got a new flag for it but in 9 years from now
@@AdamSmith-gs2dv ohhh you haven't seen nyc flag it horrible
5:34 wtf Washington?
I'm appreciated that Oregon is up the Thumbnail :)
Thanks for the positive note on Colorado! (My state)
i live in colorado ;D
4:10 May I get an oof for my fellow Kansans?
*Oof*
*kansas*
I'm very curious about the Bag End location going on at 5:16.
Love finding vids from a fellow mainer
Of course, Colorado, your example of a good flag, breaks two of those five rules. Specifically, it uses four colors, and there is a big letter C on it.
The C outlines the sun. Its used as a symbol rather than lettering really
I probably should have talked about this more in the video, but these rules are more like guidelines. Colorado is a good example of when it's okay to break the rules. The color rule is more about not having so many colors that the flag becomes too complicated. Two or three colors are recommended, but more are okay. Just don't put like 10 colors on the flag. South Africa is another good example of when breaking the color rule works.
Actually it’s a pac-man drawing not a C
I feel like that's nitpicking
I express the unpopular opinion that Arkansas has a good flag despite having its name on it.
If they took "ARKANSAS" out of it it'd be a nice flag.
If the words weren't there, it would be a great flag.
So proud to see Tennessee in like every example of solid vexillology
I love the flag-waver but it would be nice to save a video of your flag and have the ability to download the video of your flag-waving? As well it would be nice to have the ability to do this from your own files? If you could go into the system and could download multiple flags and you could have the option to select if the flag is a one or two-sided flag. It would be nice if you could upload an image of a flag that was in PNG? This way if you have an odd-shaped flag and you deleted the background in certain places it would act like nothing was there so you can get the effect of how your flag would fly. As well it would be nice to have the option to choose how many connect points there would be on the flag to the pole. For example, let's say you have a flag that is designed to be a circle, the way it was connected to the pole would have to be different. Plus if you could see how the flag would look on a pole like on a stage and how it would look when it is not flying so you could get a good idea to see if people could recognize it or not? A great feature for this software would be if you could upload different flags and create a presentable presentation ether in a video or slideshow of one or many different flag choices and it would design it so you could pick the type of audience like to your state or to business etc. This software is cool but it would be nice if there were a few different features.
Wow! Let’s go Arizona!
I got a Maine flag idea💡
1: Light yellow back ground.
2: Canton blue with white star in middle.
3: Teal tree with 3 spikes on each side and a teal stump centered on the fly.
I like this design and I hope you like it too
After watching this video, I looked up if my state's flag, (Utah), will ever get redesigned, and just a couple weeks ago, a task force on redesigning the flag was established.
Proud to live in Maryland
Ashton Horstman same
ok but some flags with seals actually look pretty cool, and no they don’t all look the same, most of the blue ones yes, but some blue ones still stand out as different. new jersey has a seal but it’s one of the better ones with seals bc at least it’s not blue. it’s lemonade yellow and it looks pretty cool and very distinguishable flying. the washington flag is also distinguishable i just don’t dig a face on a flag. also the delaware flag also looks pretty cool, but i’ll say itd be better without the letters on the bottom, it still manages to look pretty ok with a seal. so sometimes these rules are broken and the flags are still ok...
Really?
It looks like a government document.
At 6:42 why did theu keep some flags the same but like california was completely different
5:18
Ya diddnt include the british flag
it has the plus cross
(edit):is that what you call it?
He didn't include the British flag because, all of those flags are Scandinavian flags. Like Norway, Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, and the Faroe Islands.
My state California according to you is an OK flag
Paula Mais yeah cuz the bear on our flag is extinct and we arent a republic anymore. Lol.
Our flag is good but could be better

It would be good if it didn't say, "CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC" on the bottom. Find a way to represent that without just dumping the words in.
The Texas flag represents the same thing (though they were an independent nation for significantly longer than California), and their flag is one of the best state flag designs. I'm sure there's something else California could use to represent its once week-long independence.
