California State Flag Redesign
🏴 3' x 4.5' redesigned California flag with grommets and double stitched edges to reduce fraying.
✍️ The Design: For our "Better State Flag" series, the California flag is already very successful. But to explore flag design best practices, we removed the words "California Republic", simplified the bear to a geometric design, and simplified the colors to just red and white.
A few months after starting Flags For Good, I realized I could fulfill my childhood dream of redesigning bad US State flags. So that's what I'm doing!
Our flags are durable 200D polyester (most flags you'll find on the internet are cheap ~75D). In our testing, we selected 200D as the perfect flag material; anything heavier doesn't fly well and the "back" doesn't get enough ink, anything lighter feels cheap and wont last very long.
We print this flag as a one-sided print and make sure that the back has ample (around 90%) bleed-through.
Each flag is folded by hand on our dining room table and ready to be used on a flag pole, boat, hung on a wall, or to proudly march with.
Created in the most Earth-conscious way we can. We use home-compostable and discreet shipping bags.
