Some kind of white flower, I'm guessing.)<br />HI<br />AZ - like others, this seems to be the closest personal decision, but a lot of people seem to be going with "Arizona, but just barely", and I think the final numbers won't really bore out how close it actually was. I'll be sad to see whoever loses go home.<br />NM - California has a very nice flag, but NM's is simple, and evocative of the area.

I also disagree with the "corporate logo" idea. I understand it, I just don't agree. <br /><br />New Mexico, California is iconic and, as other have said, very historical, but whenever possible, I'm voting against the flag with words on it.Jack Expohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649457117682838413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600597097418583839.post-89686775318052039082011-03-11T16:50:41.840-05:002011-03-11T16:50:41.840-05:00Alaska vs. Northern Marianas

Alaska.<br /><br />Washington vs. Hawaii<br />Hawaii for the win.<br /><br />Arizona vs. Colorado<br />This is the hard one. Let's see, Colorado has a great graphic symbol on a blue-white-blue tricolor. Arizona has a stylised sunrise/sunset- can't tell which, and a copper star. Arizona, but just barely.<br /><br />California vs. New Mexico<br />New Mexico might be the best. California, while historic, and better than almost 90% of the state flags out there is still no competition.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04857841956518171328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600597097418583839.post-17147097831692256212011-03-11T12:06:49.295-05:002011-03-11T12:06:49.295-05:00Of these, only CO v.
