        I do too, the North Star is my favorite. I like the other one you linked, I guess we have similar flag preferences

      Agreed. The other designs resemble corporate medical/biotech/pharma logos, which are big in Minnesota, but don’t belong on the flag.

    These two are probably my favourites:

    Not to much a fan of swirly designs like this, looks too much like a logo and not so much like a flag:

      It translates as The Star of The North, or The North Star, in reference to the position of Minnesota as the northern-most contiguous US State, because of the small bit that sticks up higher than the 48th Parallel (aka The Northwest Angle).
