I just find that the new flags - in addition to signaling independence from the Feds - look more like corporate logos than flags. They give off that weird 'anyone could live under these colors' vibe.It definitely reminded me of the updated Utah flag, though I prefer the Utah one, even if the beehive is also too clean looking. The colors on Utah's are better and more stately.
Before the era of Nationalism people mostly used banners and heraldry and/or provincial colors. The flag is really more of a 'bind these ethnics together under one symbol' kind of device birthed out of the nationalist movements; thus I find it weird when the People element is stripped out of the flag. That's why something like the French tri-color, or the Canadian pale still register as Flags to me - but these new creations seem like they should have a ™ in the corner.
