When I was going through redesigning all of the U.S. state flags, this is one of the first designs I made. Here's the symbolism:

  • The colors are reminiscent of the orange, white, & blue pattern used in many of New York's state flag.

    • The blue has been replaced with the purple of the Iroquois flag.
  • The white shape in the center holds several meanings.

    • It resembles a crown to represent New York being the Empire State.
    • It points upward to represent New York's motto: "Excelsior" ("Higher").
    • It looks somewhat like tall skyscrapers because duh.
