I first thought this was a bizarre graphic, but now I've realised this is actually a brilliant design. The designer has made 50 symbols which are identifiable across a distance by making them all dissimilar by colour and design. You can't do that with 50 colours or 50 shapes. Genius.
Love it. Where do we petition for these to be the new state flags?
