Virginia's current state flag, while steeped in history, lacks visual distinction and prominence. I propose adopting the stellar design created by Virginia native Alex Avendaño. This new design not only retains the historical significance of the current flag but also enhances its visual appeal significantly. The adoption of this new design will reflect our commitment to progress while honoring our past. It is time for us to embrace change that reflects both tradition and innovation. Sign this petition to support the implementation of Alex Avendaño's design as Virginia's new state flag, boldly visualizing the state motto, "Sic Semper Tyrannis."

Virginia Flag Redesign by Alex Avendaño:

 

 

 

I have also made a few variants myself, using Avendaño's original design as a base. Namely, I changed the sword to a spear to better reflect the seal; replaced Avendaño's crown with the one depicted in the seal, and added the broken chains from the seal, symbolizing the Commonwealth's break from British rule and tyranny. Of my variants, many have 13 open-facing chain links, representing Virginia's status as one of the original 13 colonies and then states. (I also included variants with 14 chains for the sake of symmetry.)

Here they are:
