Minnesota’s most intensely debated art contest in memory is down to six designs for the next state flag and just a handful for the official seal, a tiny fraction of the more than 2,500 in total submissions.
For Brandon Hundt, that two of his submissions — one for the flag and another for the seal — remain in contention is an achievement in itself.
“This whole last 24 hours have just been surreal,” said Hundt, a Twin Cities based product designer and writer. Hundt spoke to MPR News on Wednesday after the State Emblems and Redesign Commission selected his concepts to move to final consideration.
They seem to be trying the Brazil flag., whose stars are arranged to reflect the constellatins that could be seen on the morning of November 19. 1889, when the Republic of Brazil was created. Personally, I like Colorado’s state flag. No doubt where you are when you see it.
