Juneteenth Flag (lemmy.world)

I didn't realize there was one for this. Aside from the text I think it's really nice. Unique but simplistic.

Someone deserves to go to prison for putting text on that flag. It's a great design otherwise.

Idk I think this is probably the best example of good text on flag that I've ever seen.

Definitely could make it better with a band of color behind the text or a different font though.

Apparently it originally didn't have the date on it, it was added in a revision seven years after the adoption of the original.

Anyway here are a couple of edits of the post's photo for no date and a white bar behind the date https://imgur.com/a/rTpx20p

Lol yeah I came here to post this, and also to trash talk the date being on there.

For anyone who wasn't familiar with it like me, the picture from OP maybe doesn't convey that it's a curved line down the middle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juneteenth_flag

I did miss that! I had assumed the design was a reference to Haiti, but the actual meaning makes sense too
