I think the one we have now suits us just FINE! WHY would you want to change the American Flag to anything else? Just because its 'vouge' or the 'in thing' to do? I think not! People have fought and died for the one we have, and I am proud to have it as it is...

No other is needed.

May the LORD Bless each of you.

I wish you well...

Jesse

You can probably make a crude version in MS Paint.

You also have to consider how well they hang vertically.



This one makes a good banner too.



Personally, I think cyan and magenta go together a lot better but people hate it.
I really like the cyan/magenta one. It's really edgy and different, for sure.

Whoever was designing flags for the Confederacy was a pretty good designer. Graphic design before there was graphic design.

I need more votes on these. I'm thinking of manufacturing one. Would you buy one to display your revolutionary spirit?

I can't decide. I like them all, for different reasons.

I'm pretty sure that the OP was just viewing a flag redesign as the ultimate graphic design challenge, which it would indeed be. However, there's probably no way around the barrage of hate it's receiving from overzealous nationalists who view the very idea as a threat to their inherited ideology.

I'd really rather not vote on this one, but if you really want my opinion, I'd say the second one is the most striking visually, but, as pointed out, it would probably never live down its similarity to a certain sports logo already in use.

They all look like the FedEx logo.

That C & M one makes me want to barf... It reminds me of when I was a kid and my parents were too cheap to buy me a real rubik's cube, so they bought me some ripoff brand that used, cyan, magenta and lime green instead of the primary colors.
