Solar System


I designed this flag for the Solar System because of the current horrible one. The yellow represents the Sun, or Sol, which is basically the "heart" of the Solar System. The eight white lines represent the eight planets of the Solar System; Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The white represents the stars, which can be seen from almost all parts of the Solar System. The white lines are thin because they resemble the orbits of the eight planets, which cannot be seen.
The current Solar System flag has a four-pointed star in the canton area of the flag, which represents the Sun. The background of the flag is blue, which makes the white and red four-pointed star stand out a lot. Surrounding the four-pointed star are nine white thick rings, which represent the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, and we all know that Pluto is no longer a planet. The flag has not been redesigned for this change, and it is also an extremely busy flag. My design was meant to be simple and symbolic, and it is much better than the current Solar System flag.

Mars


The current flag of Mars has a vertical red-green-blue tricolor design, which makes it quite hard to distinguish between many other flags around the world...or universe. This flag design is almost like a lesson in astronomy, as the official specifications have the distance of the lines set to scale as they are in real life. The yellow represents the Sun, the red represents Mars, the black represents space itself, and the gold is used for the orbits so that the orbits can be seen on the yellow Sun.

Montana

This design has the main element taken from the state seal, not the whole state seal, like all of those dishusting and horrible flags. The background color is light blue, representing the state's nickname, "Big Sky Country". The rising sun and the water are taken from the state seal. The white and blue represent the United States.

The current Montana flag is horrible, especially if you are looking at it from the other side. In big letters it has "ANATNOM" and the state seal is below that. The state seal is quite complex, and doesn't belong on a flag, and has the state motto in Latin, "ATALP Y ORO". And the background is blue, like all those other ugly flags.

Michigan


This Michigan flag design was inspired by previous Michigan flag design with a moose. The blue represents the Great Lakes, and Michigan's nickname, "The Great Lakes State". The orange represents West Michigan's Dutch influence. The red and blue represent the United States. The red also represents Germany, which has an influence on Michigan. The yellow monument represents the United States, as it is made of a stripe and a star. The setting sun is placed a little to the left to avoid being worn off the flag by the wind.
The current Michigan flag is ugly and very hard to see. There is a moose holding up the state coat of arms, and an elk! Two animals on one flag? One is complicated enough, but two? And it has "TUEBOR" on top of the sheild on the coat of arms on the flag. The state motto (in Latin) is below the coat of arms in red. And there's an eagle on the top of the flag. The elements on the flag are not only ugly, but they are also very hard to see. And one more thing...why in the world is the motto in Latin? I see absolutely no reason other than to attract foreign people. Why isn't anything on the flag in English, Michigan's official language?
