From loons to a Lab.: Minnesota's state flag submissions do not disappoint
lotradecoin strategy View Date:2024-12-25 16:53:47
The Minnesota State Emblems Redesign Commission announced that it received over 2,000 submissions for its call for ideas to change the state's flag Wednesday.
The release of the potential new designs by the Minnesota State Historical Society accompanied the announcement, allowing the public to take the first look at the options the commission is considering.
The contest comes as some in the state said that the current state seal, which is featured on the flag and is also being redesigned, shows native peoples being driven off their land.
The commission stated that, "designs must accurately and respectfully reflect Minnesota's shared history, resources, and diverse cultural communities," and they could not include, "symbols, emblems, or likenesses that represent only a single community or person, regardless of whether real or stylized."
The field will be narrowed down to five choices later this month and a new design will be chosen by the end of the year.
Here are what some of the new flag designs drew inspiration from.

The loon
The state bird featured prominently on submissions ranging from the realistic to the interpretive. The loon became the state bird in 1961 and approximately 12,000 of them make their home in the state during the summer months.

The star of the north
Submissions took inspiration from the state's motto, "L’etoile du Nord," which translates to The Star of the North. The motto was adopted in 1861.

The absurd
Since the submissions were open to the public in the year 2023, there were bound to be submissions that stretched the limits of what can be put on a flag. Minnesotans didn't disappoint, offering up artist statements, textures and a very good dog.
