5/10, would look like a blur from a distance. Try to go easy on the checkered design, okay?

I designed this flag to replace Washington's current flag. The white chevron represents the snowy peak of a mountain. The cedar tree represents the cedar forests in Washington. Since Washington is the northwestern most state of mainland U.S., I placed a star in the top left corner. Overall, I feel this represents the state far better than their current flag.

Really Washington?

The designer definitely has skill, I'll give them that at least. Overall meme/10.

Yeah, I guess it kind of does. I'm aware Lebanon uses the cedar tree on their flag. Maybe Washington can just adopt Cascadia's flag.

I tend to dislike lettering on a flag, but this flag is amusing at least.

That was at Bob Marley's birthplace in Jamaica.

Well that's cool. Knowing that, the flag is a little bit better. Even though it has lettering, I don't dislike this flag.

Here's a reminder that no flag is worse than this one.

That flag is really cool! The eagle with the coat of arms is complicated, but in this case it seems to work. And the coat of arms is even better! It looks like it could be one of an actual country! Overall an outstanding job, 10/10. I would like to see more from you.

By the way, what programs did you use?

I've never seen a flag like that before, and that's a good thing. You were able to make something that shows creativity and not use too many colors. 9/10, I really this flag.

Thanks!

I used a combination of Inkscape and Photoshop

I made the coat of arms using various pieces of things from wikimedia commons, compiling and editing elements into something unique to represent my NationStates nation

however, I have also created coats of arms completely from scratch on MS paint and photoshop.
