    When I was going through redesigning all of the U.S. state flags, this is one of the first designs I made. Here’s the symbolism:

    • The colors are reminiscent of the orange, white, & blue pattern used in many of New York’s state flag.

      • The blue has been replaced with the purple of the Iroquois flag.
    • The white shape in the center holds several meanings.

      • It resembles a crown to represent New York being the Empire State.
      • It points upward to represent New York’s motto: “Excelsior” (“Higher”).
      • It looks somewhat like tall skyscrapers because duh.
