Minnesota's New State Flag Design: A Symbol of Unity and Respect

Minnesota leaders have finalized a new state flag design after weeks of debate. The State Emblems Redesign Commission selected the final design, which incorporates the state's shape, a white northern star, and colors representing snow, nature and agriculture, and water. Some residents were disappointed that the flag did not include a loon, but the commission chose to emphasize stars. The new flag and seal will be used starting on Statehood Day, May 11. The previous flag was criticized for its depiction of a Native American and a white settler, as well as its lack of simplicity.

"Minnesota Commission Nears Decision on New State Flag Design with 3 Finalists"

The State Emblems Redesign Commission in Minnesota has narrowed down its choices for a new state flag and state seal to three finalists each. The commission spent time fine-tuning the state seal, including adding a Dakota phrase meaning 'Land Where the Waters Reflect the Clouds.' However, there was disagreement over including the state motto and the date of Minnesota's statehood. The commission then focused on narrowing down the top six flag designs, considering colors, lines, and shapes. The state flag is expected to include the image of the North Star and aim for unity. Graphic designers will create additional mockups based on the commission's modifications, with the next meeting scheduled for Friday.
