The New Utah State Flag
The Utah State Senate is adding to the list of “state symbols” a “state gun” – the Browning M1911. I’ve taken the liberty of redesigning the state flag for Utah as a result of this change:

Thanks a bunch, ProfXM. You’ve got a knack for attracting all kinds of new readers. 😉
Haha, that’s great! It reminds me of this site where they grade the world’s ugliest flags. If Utah adopts your design, it won’t be the only place to adorn its flag with weapons. 😉
How about a new state motto while we’re at it? Something like the recent UPS slogan comes to mind:
“What can Browning do for you?”
Cue the off-color jokes (and forgive the pun.) 🙂
Are the barrels aimed at the center for artistic or symbolic reasons?
I replaced existing arrows with the guns and bullets:

I’m not much of an “artist” and can’t claim credit for thinking symbolically either.
And yet the symbolism kind of works. I also noticed that the design seemed to be shooting itself…
This was funny even before I noticed the bullets tearing through the eagle’s wings.
Then it was hilarious.
