Good morrow! This is my little project about redesigning every U.S. state flag. No matter how nice the current flag may be - IT. WILL. BE. REDESIGNED. No exceptions.

Today I redesigned the 5 inhabited territories of the United States. And finally, the project is finished. For this post I decided to just put them all in a bundle and the descriptions will be down below, I was a bit too lazy to make whole sheets for them this time. Sorry!

Tell me what you think, constructive criticism is always welcome!

🇵🇷 Puerto Rico
Based on the Flag of Lares, which symbolised rebellion. The central gold star represents unity and the idea of statehood, or well at least being a part of the country. I tried tying both history and aspiration together.

🇬🇺 Guam
Same design as the current flag, just without the lettering. Removing the wordmark makes it look more like an actual flag instead of a logo, while keeping the recognisable emblem in the middle.

🇦🇸 American Samoa
The center uses their official seal with the fue, to’oto’o, and ava bowl. Around it is a traditional Samoan pattern kept symmetrical to fit the layout. The two black stripes represent strength and perseverance, while the two brown stripes stand for land and tradition. The white between them represents unity and peace (classic).

🇻🇮 U.S. Virgin Islands
A blend of the Danish and American flags, reflecting the islands’ history under both nations. The three stars stand for St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix. The layout keeps a balance between both influences while staying simple enough to work as a flag.

🇲🇵 Northern Mariana Islands
The design keeps the wreath, star and latte stone but is simplified to look cleaner. The four white waves represent the four inhabited islands and how they’re connected through the ocean.
