    In my opinion, I would say that California’s flag has the best design because there are no other flags that look similar to it. The California flag is white with a thick horizontal red stripe on the bottom, a red star on its right side and a grizzly bear on green grass. The Texas flag’s design contains one blue vertical stripe that has a width equal to one-third the length of the flag with a five-pointed star located in the center of the blue stripe and the two equal horizontal stripes,the upper stripe white, the lower stripe red, and each having a length equal to two-thirds the length of the flag. Its bold colors are easy to distinguish and its design is very clean making it easy to picture its details. Although the Texas flag is easy to see from afar, it could be easily mistaken by Chile’s national flag and so in my opinion lacks that unique design.
