For anyone who thinks Minnesota is exaggerating about its 10,000 lakes: there are actually 11,842 lakes that are at least 10 acres or larger.

And don't let anyone from Wisconsin tell you they have 15,000. They define "lake" as anything larger than a puddle.

@kreedome 4 месяца назад

I always wondered about that

@charlieliggett5643 4 месяца назад

Any wisconsinites that want to argue Wisconsin has more lakes, your state doesn't put a lower limit on lakes, and the number of lakes technically doubles every time it rains in Milwaukee.

To add as a Minnesotan, I feel old wavy is just too corporate and will be the new state flag. Us Minnesotans are used to being disappointed in the 11th hour ETA: I was thankfully wrong and it appears MN is going with the good Ole tri color ETA 2: the council changed the flag design removing the stripes

@something-somethingdarksid9498 4 месяца назад

I think at first glance I liked old wavy but every time I look at it I'm like "Yeah... no" and I do fear it will become our new state flag...

@QuintessentialWalrus 4 месяца назад

As a fellow Minnesotan, I absolutely cannot believe the commission got rid of the Starflake in favor of Old Wavy during the latest round of voting. The Starflake won a public opinion poll with over 12,000 respondents and it was also the commission's top vote getter in the vote to decide the six semi-finalists. But then it tied for last in the vote to decide the three finalists, thus getting eliminated. What changed?

As an Austrian, I was surprised to see our flag under the "tri-color examples", seeing as it's red, white, and *the exact same* red again... :P

@carnoyoutubeman 4 месяца назад

I believe maybe by tri-colour he meant tri-bar? Otherwise that's a serious blunder.

You have quite an odd definition of "serious". at worst, it's a minor typo.

@gro_skunk 4 месяца назад

Hey I know it's too late but I just wanna tell everyone I designed F304 and I'm very proud to say it was one of the finalists before the final 6.

@CBoy92 4 месяца назад

I looked it up, pretty cool design, very similar to Polaris Tricolor. I imagine people with OCD would be very upset about it though. Way better than Old Wavy. Great job, my friend! :D

@owenvestrum1445 4 месяца назад

When I first saw the tricolor flag I thought it was good, but I now really like it because I realized looks great vertically.

@jsquared1013 4 месяца назад

It seems they neutered it by removing the horizontal stripes.

@djmackay2011 4 месяца назад

As of today Polaris Tricolor has been selected by the committee. It is now considering variations to the design.

@ryangrover4959 4 месяца назад

Sadly, they removed the tricolor and left it as a light blue field. I preferred the three colors.

@SizzleCorndog 4 месяца назад

Cannot be understated how much "looks like a flag" is essential for designing a state flag. The tricolor is the only viable option bc the others are arguably banners and would look more at home on a dorm room wall instead of in front of the state house.

@sirdart6915 4 месяца назад

Being a Minnesotan I am so glad to be getting a redesign. I wholeheartedly agree with your preferences and so excited to see your reviews on these finalists!

@DrowsySquid75 4 месяца назад

The snowflake with the north star in the background was so amazing. I am angry it got cut

@SemperVerenda 4 месяца назад

The only reason I don't like Starrise (an otherwise good flag) is that I'm positive that I've stayed at an inexpensive hotel with exactly that logo. Or maybe a retirement home. It looks 'residential', like the flag of Minnesota's property development consortium, or something. I guess some people would say that's what a state is...

@lubellskie 4 месяца назад

Could not agree more! I think the rule "looks like a flag, not a corporate logo" is going to be increasingly important for flag redesigns.

@Tucci_Gang 2 месяца назад

Guys the flag they chose is the Polaris tri color flag but the stripes are light blue and the inverted triangle is dark blue 😢 Minnesota failed us

@alanmichael5619 4 месяца назад

It got all the way to the 1 yard line and.... they biffed it. I really don't understand why *so many* new flag designs are going for two shades of blue in the design.

@joshpowell1462 4 месяца назад

I paused the video when asked and ended up agreeing exactly with Grey, EXCEPT THAT NO Old Wavy would be better than the current flag!

@EirynKatherine 4 месяца назад

@dd43740 4 месяца назад

Minnesotan here - You should make a reaction video to the variation of the Polaris Tricolor that was chosen. I think they butchered it.

@sweetcornwhiskey 4 месяца назад

I preferred Star Rise until you mentioned how it would look hanging vertically. After that, I'm with you 100% on Polaris Tricolor.

@wolflegion_ 4 месяца назад

The only problem with Polaris tricolour is that it’s too good. Like it’s surpasses “state flag” look and creeps into the “country flag” look.

@FakeLifeGames 4 месяца назад

I am in the (apparently very small) group that likes Old Wavy the best, but all three of these flags are massive improvements over the current one.

@932ForeverLove 4 месяца назад

At first, I didn’t like any of them, but Grey, you got me interested on Polaris Tricolor. The thing that bugged me the most about the two other flags is that they looked like paintings, and going off your criteria for grading the state flags, “a flag is not a painting.”

@DrFumi 4 месяца назад

I am honestly disappointed. Sorry, Minnesotans

@MementoX1013 4 месяца назад

As a Minnesotan closely following this race, I've been a fan of Old Wavy since the beginning, and I still like it, but this video did raise the standing of Polaris Tricolor in my estimation (which is good, because it is now our flag). Also, it amuses me greatly to have one of my favorite RU-vidrs commenting on my state's flag redesign ;)

@mangelsimonpaniello2256 4 месяца назад

I didn't dislike Old Wavy but my God the inverted triangle as a simplification of Minessota itself is OUTSTANDING. Go Polaris tricolor!

@moneysins 4 месяца назад

Minnesota, please know that whatever new flag you choose, we the love you for getting us another video from Grey

@Bxu021 4 месяца назад

I think Old Wavy is a pretty cool flag design. It's not every day you see something like that with no straight lines, but it doesn't particularly look messy at all. I like how the two blues, one white, and kind of muted yellow work well together. It gives off a welcoming vibe that's not too sharp or industrial. Plus, it kind of reminds me of the Cathay Pacific logo, which is one of my favorites. Old Wavy, like the Cathay Pacific logo, is simple but unique and has a certain charm to it. I prefer the third option for the Polaris design. The strong green color in the original option feels too harsh between the light blue and white colors. The third option's color scheme makes more sense to me. The sky is blue, the snow is white, and the landscape is a lush green. Although, if the third option kept the same colors as the first option, it would still work for me.

@RegebroRepairs 4 месяца назад

I like the idea of the Old Wavy, but it's hard to make and paint. So it gets a no. Good point about hanging Star Ride vertically. So I agree, Polaris Tricolor is good and can work even on an international level. And, kids can draw it in crayon.

@DonReba 4 месяца назад

Oh. My ranking was the reverse. Old Wavy looks distinctive and evocative, Star Rise has a similar idea but simplified, where as Polaris Tricolor looks like the flag of some small country I've never heard about.

@Astrojox_ 4 месяца назад

Polaris Tricolor is my favorite for sure. It needs to be the official flag RIGHT NOW!!!

@charlieliggett5643 4 месяца назад

Pssst! Minnesota made a final choice. You're going to be disappointed.

@superkh12 4 месяца назад

We have the exact opposite taste in Flags, Gray. I like the Tricolor one the least, and I like "Old Wavy" the most.😅

@michellehao2000 4 месяца назад

@Hemigoblin 4 месяца назад

Old Wavy looks like a 1990s-era software splash screen. The only thing missing is a background gradient.

@Valca.Design 4 месяца назад

Born and raised Minnesotan Art Director. Popping in to say thanks for the video, and also, your opinion is correct. I particularly like your consideration for the vertical hang, which really makes Polaris Tricolor even *better*, and is an easily overlooked aspect.

@Jothamvvw 4 месяца назад

What is Ohio if not an inverted triangle? Also, I personally prefer "Old Wavy" over "Star Rise". "Star Rise" is the epitome of boring, just a word inside it away from being the logo of an agricultural company.

@kmcc488 4 месяца назад

The Polaris Tricolor isn't just mimicking the state shape, it's a quarter of the Mi'kmaq star (8 pointed tribal star design) that all three non-finalist flags have.

@offbeatwitch 4 месяца назад

I'm kind of sad that #408 didn't make the shortlist, despite its vexilogical flaws

@ReggieBauer 4 месяца назад

Another Minnesotan here also rooting for Polaris Tricolor! The next meeting of the redesign commission is like 12 hours from now, we'll see what happens next! (Polaris Tricolor DID have the most votes outright when they narrowed it down from 6 to 3!)

@MenloMarseilles 4 месяца назад

My own ranking: Old Wavy, then the tricolor, then the Star Rise. It's important, in my view, that the symbols in flags stand for something actually distinct about the place they honor. Every place has green land and blue skies. Every northern place cloaks its hills in snow. But to put the Aurora and the river in the shape of the state bird? That creates a meaningful distinction! It's sad that it doesn't have a representation of the Thousand Lakes, but neither do the other two. It'd have to be vert ten roundels azure, or something like that, to properly evoke "lakes" and not just "lake"!

@DrakeMagnum 4 месяца назад

I totally agree with that ranking. However I don't even hate Old Wavy that much. These are all improvements I think.

@sebastianheitzmann5269 25 дней назад

Just saw the design Minnesota finally picked, I didn’t like it on the screen, but photographs of it flying actually look amazing

@ConditionOfMan 4 месяца назад

The moment I saw the Polaris tricolor I was like THAT ONE! It really is shocking that the K or inverted triangle hasn't been done before. As Grey said, it feels so natural in the context of flags.

@catalystcorp 4 месяца назад

I absolutely love the Polaris Tricolor as a native Minnesotan. That "K" shape on the flag is something you see everywhere.

@sirdart6915 4 месяца назад

full agreement here, I had the ame ranking when I paused to rank them myself. You much better articulated why old wavy seems off to me, great work there.

@josiahhofer1343 4 месяца назад

As a Minnesotan and also a graphic designer, I would love to see the Polaris Tricolor flag become our state flag. Star Rise is too simplistic imo, Old Wavy looks more like "modern art" or maybe a painting rather than a flag and would also not age well, but the tricolor flag represents our state the best out of the 3 finalists. It represents our lakes, grasslands, snow, and being the North Star state.

@Bluestar4535 4 месяца назад

As a Minnesotan. My favorite is by far Polaris Tri-color. The one change I would make, is the blue stripe. I feel like it is too light. And it should be a darker blue, like a medium color blue. But keep it like it is muted.
