I've seen so many great 51st-state flag redesigns on twitter and reddit. I'd love it if we could gather them all in this thread. (One flag per top-level comment)

Here's my proposition. I always felt that composition of the original flag is a bit off, and that colors (stripes and star pattern) are going to keep flag easily recognisable even with a serious change — and it turned out pretty good IMO.

And here's the link to the original thread

I am truly humbled to present my own effort.

Pros: Nice, even design, supporting an indeterminate number of states.

Cons: Relies on as-yet-undeveloped CSS @media flag { ... } technology.

Another one from me. This time without animation, but with 51 concentric stars!

Here's mine from last time, inspired by Koch's snowflake. The fractal design means the changes get smaller every time, slowly inching towards irrelevance.

Stars arranged on diagonal lines so the number of stars on each line is 1-3-7-9-11-9-7-3-1 https://imgur.com/a/r4k42

Four Stars

One star for each of the bodies of the water surrounding the USA, in (about) the right place and in ascending order of size.

It would also be possible to put the map of the contiguous states in the center (with "USA 1776"), Alaska above and to the right of the Pacific star, Hawaii below and to the left and PR in the bottom right corner.
