It’s just like half the other states’ flags — state seal on a blue background. We need something distinctive. I like this one: keystoneflag.org

Dude, that's an awesome campaign. That flag looks great! The kickstarter is only 3 days from ending and it's close to its goal... I hope they make it.

We did make it! If you want anything, you're always welcome to grab something during the final few days, too, of course 😊

Yeah I saw, that's terrific!! I already grabbed what I can afford atm and am crossing my fingers that you get enough backers to pull off the pride flag. Good luck with the rest of the campaign, and thank you for doing it!

I don't care for the green on it and I usually like green.

A simple gold keystone on a black background would certainly be interesting, lol.

States official colors are blue and gold (which is why the license plates have blue and gold/yellow stripes). Should be a gold keystone on a blue background

Believe it or not, we actually don't have official colors! People see those colors prominently on the state flag, but that's circumstance, same with the license plate and a few state agency logos, and tourism wound up running with it. They still made it into this design, though!

Well, I almost said that but people hate how boring and similar our state's current flag is to a bunch of other states.

Personally I like that idea.

A big part of that issue though is simply that the art in the center is way too complicated/detailed. Also there's no contrast between the black horses and the blue field. South Carolina and Alaska follow a similar "symbol on a blue field" formula but I'd rank them solidly above most of the rest as the symbols are relatively simple and easy to identify. Even Indiana's is better because the symbol is so much simpler, there's clear color contrast, etc.

I do quite like the Pennsylvania coat of arms on its own, it works well in printed designs. I just don't think it works well as a flag.

That’s awesome. I think we need to keep nailing the keystone home as our symbol. It’s unique and apt

Ugly, ugly flag. Looks like a 3rd grader came up with that. At least they stayed within the lines. Ugh lee.

Yeah, that’s my only issue with it.

Still like it better than the current flag though.

a third grader did come up with it if you read the story in the link. they were inspired by a child's homework assignment.

Even if this were true, what would be wrong with that? Alaska’s flag was designed by a teenager, and decades later it’s still one of the most beloved US state flags.

(For anyone who cares, the kid was barely born when I was putting the design together in 2017 - I received that homework photo from a friend and supporter about 2 months ago. That said, this is the funniest misreading of a situation I’ve seen in a while, and I appreciate you for that 😂)

I didn't mean anything rude, I just misread it! It's a good design and I personally like it! Good job!
