I would like to stick with this.

It’s now infamous for being on the flyers

2017-08-26 23:20:53 UTC  

True. My only problem is the fasces, because it automatically pits us against more liberty-minded midwesterners.

2017-08-26 23:21:20 UTC  

Yea also not a fan of the black background.

2017-08-26 23:22:24 UTC  

I second that. I know many people who would be much more receptive if it didn't have fascist symbolism

2017-08-26 23:23:21 UTC  

We have fasces on our quarters and the normys don’t recognize it there

2017-08-26 23:24:46 UTC  

But I get it, can we keep the shield?

2017-08-26 23:25:15 UTC  

For sure

2017-08-26 23:25:50 UTC  

Honestly I felt like mine was a good in the middle for normies. I just didn't like the black background

2017-08-26 23:27:16 UTC  

I like the shield

2017-08-26 23:29:25 UTC  

Like they're an American thing.

2017-08-26 23:30:23 UTC  

I like the upper right shield shape personally. I'm going to mess with it a little bit, see if I can come up with something.

Stars, Red and white stripes

2017-08-26 23:30:56 UTC  

Blue field

2017-08-26 23:57:02 UTC  

We don’t want the flag to look to American, it should be more regionally inspired

2017-08-27 00:14:15 UTC  

True, what makes the Midwest the Midwest

2017-08-27 00:27:40 UTC  

Kind people, fields of grain, pleasant accents

2017-08-27 00:28:02 UTC  

Deer fucking everywhere

2017-08-27 00:28:47 UTC  

Let's not forget about one of the best things

Though I think our reputation as being the common American is also a big part of our heritage

2017-08-27 00:29:06 UTC  

And common identity

2017-08-27 00:29:15 UTC  

C O R N

2017-08-27 00:29:26 UTC  

Where the heart land, flyover.

2017-08-27 00:34:51 UTC  

Common identity
Often drunk
Racial homogeneity
Natural resources

2017-08-27 00:37:12 UTC  

Fun fact: The Midwestern accent is nationally regarded as the most neutral, or "general," American accent. In movies, when you hear an accent and think, "wow, that is a quintessentially American accent," it's usually a Midwestern accent.

One of my favorite alternate America designs is the American union state

2017-08-27 00:44:48 UTC  

Should we go for something like that?

2017-08-27 00:45:40 UTC  

That's pretty cool

2017-08-27 00:46:16 UTC  

Shield seems out of place for some reason

2017-08-27 00:46:34 UTC  

I think its the hard black

2017-08-27 00:47:08 UTC  

Just throwing shit out

2017-08-27 00:47:44 UTC  

If we were to go with it, it would obviously have to be revised

2017-08-27 00:47:56 UTC  

I was working on something but my girlfriend was using the computer

2017-08-27 00:48:10 UTC  

*is

2017-08-27 00:48:20 UTC  

:(

2017-08-27 00:48:37 UTC  

Humble bragging

2017-08-27 00:48:40 UTC  

I don't think we need a flag, just a simple
