Minnesota has a new look.
The State Emblems Redesign Commission announced it approved the new state flag design on Tuesday.
According to the commission, the panel tasked with redesigning the flag and seal narrowed down more than 2,600 designs submitted from the public to a final few.
Designers were tasked with crafting a layout that "accurately and respectfully reflect Minnesota's shared history, resources, and diverse cultural communities," according to the state commission.

'Unity and pride'
The person who helped design the flag said he was speechless when he learned his sketch had been selected as the winner.
"This is one of those moments where it’s hard to express the sheer gratitude and amazement I’ve felt at this whole opportunity," Andrew Prekker of Luverne, a city in southwest Minnesota, released in a statement. "It's such a rare privilege to be able to contribute to our state’s history in such a special way like this... It’s an achievement that I hope brings a lot of unity and pride to our land, and I will hold that fact with great honor for the rest of my life."
