We decided it was time to break the cycle, and started offering a flag anyone can fly regardless if it ever sees official adoption (and plenty of folks across the Commonwealth now are!): KeystoneFlag.org

I was just walking in Lancaster and spotted this on someone’s porch. I have no idea who lives here. Very surreal moment. #KeystoneFlag
ALT A flag commonly known as the Keystone Flag (a blue, yellow, and green tricolor flag with the middle section reshaped into a keystone) hanging vertically from the awning of a residential porch.

Pennsylvana - Half-Staff Alert - Governor Shapiro ordered Pennsylvania flags in Westmoreland County to half-staff April 10-11, 2024 to honor Rostraver Central Fire Department firefighter John Bunardzya. flagsexpress.com/flags-half-…

We aren’t the “Liberty Bell State”, that should be on the Philly flag. We’re the Keystone State and I’ve always found it to be an apt description. I’ve seen a few different designs I like, but the keystone needs to be the main feature.

Arguably, New Mexico & Utah have the best flag designs of the four corners, but Arizona & Colorado also have that, "Yeah, cool" factor that *coughs* New York sorely lacks.

I see so many designs that look incredible on paper, but fall flat depending on the fabric used. Also to Fringe or Not to Fringe:)

Good chat. There is alot to cover on this topic. There is more to flag design than the flag looking good on paper/screens

Yes! This is a great note that we all (VexHeads and non-!) forget about from time to time. What matters is what looks good on a pole, not a Wiki-rabbit hole 😆

"To simplify a flag, you must focus on what is most essential and eliminate the rest. For Utah, it means a basic beehive. And the simpler the flag, the more power it has as a symbol," Michael De Groote writes.

Nice to have a flag design that was first and foremost meant to be Flag design.
Check out that stellar flag/seal combo.
Keystone Flag retweeted
Look at that. The state seal and state flag representing Utah on @Wikipedia. Just like has been said all along: the seal isn’t going anywhere.

It’s amazing how far kindness goes. When we teach people about the amazing symbolism behind the Utah state flag, they love it. Anger and hostility gets us no where - kindness is the answer. It’s amazing how far kindness goes.

#TBT: South Africa hoisted an “interim flag” upon constitutional reforms 30 years ago. Deeply unpopular at first, it soon skyrocketed to success & permanence. Transition scenes from Johannesburg & Cape Town; 1994 footage at youtu.be/Sed-dqbZgkc?t=218 #vexillology

Good new flags are derided to "delegitimize" them: Canada (nosebleed on a hanky), South Africa (Mandela’s suspenders, Y-front underwear), Arizona (grotesque, astronomically improbable). The student who designed the 50-star US flag pattern got a B– from his art teacher! #NewMNFlag

Dear Cowgirl from MN: This is a little embarrassing. So, you’re proud of our old state flag … but it’s upside down. Again. #Minnesota #NewMNFlag #ItsTime

Food for thought. New flags often face resistance. Many found the first U.S. flags strange or garish (especially the British). Modern flags also faced deep skepticism at first – including Canada, South Africa, & Arizona. Today, all are considered iconic. #NewMNFlag #vexillology

Canada’s Conservative party likewise pilloried the Maple Leaf flag in the 1960s, & filibustered it in Parliament as a “bloody handkerchief,” “Peru’s flag,” “abandonment of history,” “meaningless rag.” In time the well-crafted design became a successful global icon. #NewMNFlag
