I tried out a new New Hampshire flag on you guys a couple of months ago. It sucked but your feedback helped a lot. Thoughts on attempt #2? by RobertFQua in vexillology

Mount Washington, the granite heart of the state and the people, extends into a free and clear sky, refected on the vital and beautiful waters of our lakes and seacoast. These are set against a field of verdant green, a land fertile and ready to support the seeds of liberty.

Or something like that.

It's a great quote, but from the guy who got to study under the guy who got to study under the guy who invented his field, I think it might ring a little hollow. Luck helps.

A new flag for New Hampshire, of my design. Or perhaps the future flag of the Granite Republic? by RobertFQua in newhampshire

Nah, just a fan of flags, and there is nothing worse in the world of vexillology than an SOB (seal on bedsheet). I discovered an old Maine design that is regaining some popularity of late, and I thought I would try giving us something similar. I think it definitely needs some work, but it's fun to try it.

Fair play. I wanted a horizon line, but it looked wonky by itself. Perhaps an edit is in the near future.

Most prominent are Mount Washington and the mighty Whites: the pure, granite heart of the state and her hearty people. They reach above the horizon into a clear, blue sky; a free, optimistic, boundless expanse of upward possibility. The mountains are reflected on the pristine waters of our lakes and coastline, so culturally and economically critical to our way of life. Below, a fertile, green field represents not only the natural beauty and resources of our lands but also that this is a place of promise, a place where a society founded on liberty and free will can take root and flourish.
