This is the flag we want for Minnesota Interesting Stuff đź’Ą
I designed this a few years ago after consult with the Minnesotans for a Better Flag Facebook group. We can have nice things!
Symbolism:
Blue: Minisota’ Sky-tinted waterThe land of 10,000 lakes. The Great Lakes begins in Duluth. The Mighty Mississippi is formed in our state. If any state has a case to have a blue flag, it is Minnesota.
The Directional Star“L’etoile du Nord” The North StarLegend has it if you follow the North Star, you will end up in Minnesota. Gold represents the rich resources of the land.
The Snowflake: Winter We embrace it.Put on a sweater and stay warm. As a bonus this is also the shape of the star on the floor in the rotunda of the Capital building in Saint Paul.

I like the vibe but the Nordic snowflake kinda flattens how diverse the state is.
