Maine State Flag - Design Contest Entry

The State of Maine held a design contest to choose a replacement flag in 2024.

While I am partial to the Dirigo flag, I couldn't resist joining in on the

fun and offering up a design option for the state to consider.

To be considered as the new model flag, all entries had to include the

elements of the original Maine state flag used in the early 1900s: a pine tree

in the center, a blue star in the upper corner and a buff background.

I wanted to create a flag option that included all the elements

of the 1901 flag while giving it a fresh look that would make

it easily recognizable and easy to draw from memory.
