Over the years, states have tweaked their flags with some going as far as to commission complete overhauls.
Others have kept the same logo since the mid 19th Century. Some are riffs on Old Glory, many are simply the state seal on a solid background and others are confounding in their lack of artistic attention. The flags of the U.S. states, territories, and federal district exhibit a variety of regional influences and local histories, as well as different styles and design principles. Nonetheless, the majority of the state flags share the same design pattern consisting of the state seal superimposed on a monochrome background, commonly every different shade of blue.
