The 6 finalists for Minnesota's new state flag
The State Emblem Redesign Commission is set to reconvene next month to choose a new state flag and seal. The panel found six flag and five seal designs Tuesday that will move on.
Jaettehjort, 
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:
But mostly, I’m disappointed that my laser loon flag did not qualify as a finalist:
frank, This is the current state flag for reference. Any they pick is a huge improvement IMO

Goodness, that is terrible, I see why they’re looking to replace it.
regul, It’s gotta be this one if they’ve got any sense.
surewhynotlem, That’s beautiful.
WHARRGARBL, Agreed. The other designs resemble corporate medical/biotech/pharma logos, which are big in Minnesota, but don’t belong on the flag.

Imo, F1953 is also pretty good, though that one's also nice.
What has me a bit disappointed is that the North Star Flag wasn't a finalist. I prefer it to all of the 6 here.
frank, I do too, the North Star is my favorite. I like the other one you linked, I guess we have similar flag preferences

I am curious, what is the story behind “L’étoile du nord” ?
litchralee, (edited ) 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).
reddig33, Any explanation as to what these are supposed to symbolize?
