Field color is fairly unusual. Not readily identifiable or graphically powerful. As a modern American I am attracted to things which I am bombarded with daily - as produced by modern, mass media, lowest common denominator advertising. Latin. That detailed drawing. It makes my atrophied brain hurt.

It could be much better, but I do like Virginia's slogan.

An interesting flag that hints at violent revenge. I love it! Certainly unique among state flags, and memorable. Even though it does have words, it is a Latin phrase, Sic semper tyrannis, so instead of losing points for lettering, it gains. Sic semper tyrannis means Thus always to tyrants and implies the death that awaits tyrants.

A little too much purple.
