在过去的25年里，美国州旗的变化步伐加快 了。与此同时，旗帜专家参与这一变化的人数 有所增。我们已经分享了我们作为倡导者、创 造者、专家、评审者和过程顾问的旗帜设计专 业知识。包括乔治亚州、密西西比州、犹他州 和明尼苏达州在内的几个州已经改变了他们的 旗帜，他们采纳了NAVA（北美旗帜协会）及其 成员的指导。还有几项努力正在进行中，包括 马萨诸塞州、伊利诺伊州、缅因州、密歇根州 和新罕布什尔州。由于在美国没有中央部门管 理国旗的设计和使用，NAVA的作用是通过其出 版物、调查和成员的努力而变得更加重要。旗 帜界成员的这种参与标志着一种重大变化，我 们在大多数州旗变更时，为它在新旗帜设计提 供了更优的设计标准。 本文也发表在 2025 年 3 月的 Vexillum 第 29 期 中。 In the past 25 years, the pace of change among U.S. state flags has accelerated. Concurrently, the participation of vexillologists in that change has increased. We have shared our flag-design expertise as instigators, advocates, creators, refiners, experts, judges, and process consultants. Several states, including Georgia, Mississippi, Utah, and Minnesota, have changed their flags, reflecting and incorporating guidance from NAVA and its members. Several more efforts are under way, including Massachusetts, Illinois, Maine, Michigan, and New Hampshire. Because no central authority governs flag design and adoption in the U.S., the role of NAVA—through its publications, surveys, and members’ efforts—has become more important. This involvement by members of the vexillological community marks a significant change from the past—when we were on the outside of most state flag change—and it has delivered a higher stand- ard of flag design in new flags.

在2015年至2022年期间，超过300个美国城市和 城镇采用了新的或重新设计的旗帜来代表他们 的社区。2022年底，NAVA进行了一项在线调 查，要求受访者根据0至10的评分标准对这些旗 帜的设计进行评分。共有2,852名受访者（308名 NAVA成员和2,544名公众参与者）自我报告来 自90个国家（71%来自美国）；他们的年龄分布 广泛。之后，NAVA在全国范围内，特别是那些 旗帜被纳入调查的城市，发布新闻稿，获得了 广泛的媒体报道。将平均评分转换为字母等级 后，超过30%的旗帜获得了A或B，但超过60%的 旗帜获得了D或F。结果分析不仅显示了设计质 量的范围，还提供了关于设计感知如何因受访 者年龄、地点和NAVA成员身份而异的洞察。 该论文也发表在2024年 Raven 31上。 Over 300 American cities and towns are known to have adopted new or redesigned flags to represent their communities between 2015 and 2022. In late 2022, NAVA conducted an online survey asking respondents to rate those flags’ designs on a 0–10 scale. The 2,852 respondents (308 NAVA members and 2,544 public participants) self-reported from 90 countries (71% from the U.S.); their ages distributed widely. Afterwards, NAVA blanketed the country—especially the cities with flags in the survey—with press releases yielding wide media coverage. With average ratings converted to a letter grade, over 30% of the flags got an A or a B, but over 60% of the flags got a D or an F. Analysis of the results not only showed a range of design quality, but also provided insights into how perception of the designs varied across respondent ages, locations, and NAVA membership.

Flags have been around for centuries; however, vexillology, the study of flags, was not officially coined until the 1960s. Despite this, there is still a need for more scientific and empirical research. Using qualitative arts-based research (ABR) methodology, this study investigates the creative journey of students in an undergraduate geography course as they design a flag for a place of their choosing. Students were asked to interpret the concept of ‘place’ through their flag designs while also incorporating flag design principles. The results showed that participants selected places tied to themes such as hometown, family, love, memories, and culture often reflecting on their personal histories and narratives. Their flag designs incorporated symbols representing aspects of the selected location such as nature, culture, economy, history, and national elements. Overall, the participants viewed the concept of ‘place’ as an emotional construct that is shaped by important memories and life changing moments. Through their designs, the participants explored the concept of place as more than just a physical location. ‘Place’ was a space filled with emotions and personal

The world of vexillology has seen two important debates in recent years. The first debate concerns the proper scope of vexillology, in particular whether it should be defined essentially as the “scientific” or “scholarly” study of flags. The second debate concerns the usefulness or desirability of efforts such as Ted Kaye’s criteria for “good flags” and “bad flags” as the primary guides to proper flag design. This paper considers and connects both questions. It argues that most vexillological work is not “scholarly” in the sense that term has come to be understood, but that this is just fine. Nevertheless, to the extent that vexillology does aspire to be a serious scholarly enterprise, the most promising scholarly model for that enterprise is not history or sociology (though a good deal of important historical and sociological work about flags has been done and remains to be done), but aesthetic criticism—art, architecture, literature, music, and the like. But if that’s true, then we need to welcome a rich set of aesthetic, critical, conversations. And that conversation must go way beyond the limits of a single pamphlet.
