The Skywater Star Minnesota Flag
The white North Star prominently framed by
The blue sky reflected in a lake and
The red glory of freedom
***
Unapologetically American
as one star
of the union and instantly recognizable
among the best state flags
***
Bold but Nuanced
Progressive but Patriotic
Simple but Unique
***
The Skywater Star flag symbolizes the
rich and complex Minnesota character
***
Dynamic but Balanced
Futuristic but Historical
Stately but Playful
***
This flag stands above politics to
unite
all Minnesotans in times of crisis and
stand proud at times of celebration
The Skywater Star is easy to remember
and hard to forget
Children can draw it by hand with
crayons
or construct to ideal proportions of 13:20
with just a ruler and compass
The flag can be presented in
different aspect ratios
by changing the length of the sky and water stripes
The Skywater Star flag uses four solid
colors,
two of which are close but different enough
in lightness to create an illusion of sky and
water gradients meeting on the horizon line
The Skywater Star Minnesota state flag colors
Freedom RED
Deep Sky Blue
North White
Great Lake Blue
