City of New York Flag Redesign Project

I've taken it upon myself to redesign NYC's flag after revisiting 99 Percent Invisible's episodes on great flag design 99% Symbolic and Vexillonaire. @Steve Kodis is taking on Milwaukee, so I thought I'd take on my new city, New York.

Having lived in DC (Washington, District of Columbia, for the uninitiated), I know what it's like having a killer flag, and that civic pride feedback loop is just what this city needs.

This is just a screen shot of some rough ideation, but I'll be posting a few designs soon!
