- originally I had the text read "Commiefornia" or "Commiefornia Republic" but that's too meme-y; I wanted an unironic take on what the flag of a hypothetical communist state of California would look like

- changed the white to gold because it's the golden state, also communism (duh)

- I just copied the red and gold hues from China's flag because they look good together, but that might be too derivative

- The hammer and sickle is more akin to the Soviet version, I just grabbed an svg from the internet

- changed the bear's dark brown to black and the light brown to a different dark brown. looks sicker that way. also made the text black

- simplified the grass patch to be one solid color because it's cleaner

as a bonus here's my original hand-drawn "Commiefornia" sketch. I was too lazy to detail the bear but I liked it enough to create the vector version seen above

Why does the bear have only one head 🤔?

hmm is that a video game reference? well you should know that all gaming is illegal in the CSR, so enjoy your stay at Alcatraz

more importantly, why isn't it hexagonal

I like the hand drawn one because the bear and grass being flat, vibes better with the rest of the flag. Overall pretty sick.
