Today, the state is the Commonwealth of Virginia, a case of more of the same i.e. a seal on a blue cloth:
[Current flag - Designer unknown, seal by George Wythe and others]
My first idea is a flag in red and blue with a white chevron, resembling the "V" of Virginia:
[Proposed flag - My design]
This flag is effective, but something that bother me is the similarity with the flag of NAVA (North America Vexillological Association). So I adapted it a little, to obtain the following result:
[Proposed flag - My design]
The "V" letter was rotated to make room to the addition of a Phrygian cap, an anti-monarchist and republican symbol, what's a reference to the obverse of the seal (present on current flag) and even appears on the reverse.
My only fear is that the reference isn't as obvious as I suppose. What's your opinion about it?
Comments are welcome!
