الأعلام الوطنية

التطور التاريخي للتصاميم

منذ عام 1818، تُضاف نجمة لكل ولاية جديدة إلى العلم في الرابع من يوليو من العام الذي يلي انضمامها مباشرةً. وفي السنوات التي انضمت فيها عدة ولايات، يُضاف العدد المقابل من النجوم إلى العلم. وكان هذا التغيير هو التغيير الوحيد الذي طرأ عادةً على كل تعديل للعلم منذ عام 1777، باستثناء التغييرات التي أُجريت عامي 1795 و1818، والتي زادت عدد الخطوط إلى 15 ثم أعادته إلى 13 على التوالي. ولأن النمط الدقيق للنجوم لم يُحدد قبل عام 1912، فقد احتوت العديد من الأعلام الوطنية الأمريكية التاريخية (الموضحة أدناه) على ترتيبات مختلفة للنجوم.

Other federal flags

Many agencies, departments, and offices of the U.S. federal government have their own flags, guidons, or standards. Following traditional American vexillology, these usually consist of the agency's departmental seal on a blank opaque background, but not always.

State and territory flags

The flags of the U.S.states, territories, and federal district exhibit a variety of regional influences and local histories, as well as different styles and design principles. Nonetheless, the majority of the states' flags share the same design pattern consisting of the state seal superimposed on a monochrome background, commonly every different shade of blue, which remains a source of criticism from vexillologists.

The most recent current state flag is that of Minnesota (May 11, 2024), while the most recent current territorial flag is that of the Northern Mariana Islands (July 1, 1985).

History

Modern U.S. state flags date from the 1890s, when states wanted to have distinctive symbols at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. Most U.S. state flags were designed and adopted between 1893 and World War I.[3]

According to a 2001 survey by the North American Vexillological Association, New Mexico has the best-designed flag of any U.S. state, U.S. territory, or Canadian province, while Georgia's state flag was rated the worst design.[4] (Georgia adopted a new flag in 2003; Nebraska's state flag, whose design was rated second worst, remains in use to date.)
