True, although both could be simplified. American states have some of the most beautiful flags in the world, i like the flag of Hawaii, flag of Mississippi, flag of Texas and the flag of California, but i do wonder if there is going to ever be a new flag of Mississippi as Americans are a bit offended with anything related to the Confederate flag these days, the 2001 proposed flag of Mississippi also looks good but a shame it was not admitted, if it was done now i would think it would win the referendum. 2001 proposed flag of Mississippi
 It's better than the Confederate version, no doubt; it was rejected by a percentage that seems to be based on racial lines. |

In many of the liberal areas, yes (Jackson, Natchez, Oxford), but the rest of state in white-dominant areas is very conservative and proud of their Confederate past. |

But showing the Confederate flag is not wise at this point, even the famous General Lee car from the Dukes of Hazzerd has been target for having a Confederate flag painted on its top, it a car people, let it be. |

In the liberal areas it is very much unwise. In the conservative, white areas it's not something to blink at. |

Those are decent online ways to create flags. Years back, long before I had any proficiency with digital programs, I used MS Powerpoint. Now, I use Adobe Photoshop, Paint.NET (with add-ons), Inkscape, and other sundry programs. Frequently, I use several programs to achieve the final result. Here are my own personal flags.  |

Thank you! The first is a flag that I designed for my family back in 2006. The second flag consists of my assumed armorial bearings, and the last flag is made up of my three initials within a circle (my avatar). By the way, I used Real US Flag Screensaver to make make the 3D image. It's a free download. I just switched the US flag image with my own, and printscreened the image. |

Like the second flag the most, maybe because it has a lion on it. |
