@Siphonay See, yeah, I think the text and stars are probably the important cultural bits, and I wouldn't know how to treat them well; there may be options besides 'remove them'
(Though text on flags is almost never a good idea at all, IMO)
@Siphonay I have a related problem when thinking about a redesign for the flag of my home city; it's named after a local Native leader who is also featured on the flag. Images of people aren't great flag features either but I also don't wanna just erase that.
@indi guys over reddit.com/r/vexillology are all for just removing the text and the stars
