I mean, once you realize the meaning behind it I like it more

In all seriousness though, I kinda liked the tricolor, I would’ve liked to see some green. Definite improvement over the original on all counts though.

Could have had a laser loon. Cowards.

I can only hope the ice blue keeps people away from Minnesota.

Æsthetical, recognisable, not busy, with a subtle nod to the shape of the state. I like it.

@ThatOneKirbyMain2568 I’m not vexillologically oriented, but I’m very happy with it. It stands out and the k and star identify the state well. I’ve always liked the two colors of blue. Without all the choices, it would have been a no-brainer hit, but given all the options (and the change from the submitted design) people have all sorts of regrets over missed options. Personally, I preferred two stripes to the right of the K, but c’est la vie.
