"Virtue Over Tyranny" : My proposal for a new state flag for the Commonwealth of Virginia. This flag contains 10 five-point stars that represent Virginia. (10th state admitted into the union) They are laid out symmetrically on the same field of blue currently used in the flag. There is a spear and sword crossed as well as centered to represent the weapons carried by "The Goddess Virtue" as well as a fallen crown representing the fall of tyranny. This is to depict what is currently on the state seal, and the state motto in a more modern and simplistic way. (Sic Semper Tyrannis - Thus Always to Tyrants)

Another design for a Virginia state flag. This flag recalls and celebrates Virginia's role in the American Revolution, the War of Independence, and the founding of the nation. Posted by Ken Morton.
Slightly altered Simcoe Yorktown flag
My third design for a Virginia state flag. This design is intended as an abstract representation of the battle of Yorktown; with the French on the left, the Americans on the right, and the British trapped in the middle. The colors correspond to the colors of the uniforms of the three armies. In addition, the red wedge creates a "V", standing, if you like, for Virginia. (Posted by Ken Morton)
Used design from SimplisticFlags as a starting point. The imagery and colors pull from the state seal dating to 1776. The seal contains a female figure wearing blue personifying the Roman virtue of Virtus and the state itself. Virtus stands in a peaceful pose indicating a battle already won. Her long spear is pointed downward to the ground and her other weapon, a parazonium, is sheathed. The sword of Tyranny lies prostrate beneath the foot of Virtus, symbolizing Great Britain's defeat by Virginia. The crown fallen beside him symbolizes the state's release from the monarchical control of Great Britain. His robe is purple, a reference to Julius Caesar and the Etruscan king of Rome, Tarquinius Priscus. All of these elements and a V shape representing the state are contained in the flag.

The Rotunda of the University of Virginia is intended as a symbol of the Jeffersonian ideals upon which the state of Virginia was founded. Part of a series of designs for state flags, all in blue and white. (Posted by Ken Morton)
"Virginia Blood-stained Banner" Based on the Confederate Blood-Stained Banner, the last National flag of the Confederate states of America. The battle flag has been replaced with a blue field with the Virginia state flower in the center.
Deviantart user, Keperry012 used the design of the city flag of Richmond because of its awesome design and placed a Tudor rose on it to represent Queen Elizabeth I, the namesake of Virginia (the Virgin Queen). I also edited it to add the two bars from the Washington family coat of arms on the flag to represent George Washington as he was born in Virginia. Last but not least, there are 9 stars encircling the rose representing 9 states that was once part of the Colony of Virginia (Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota), and also to symbolize Virginia’s nickname, “The Mother of States”. August 2020.
This flag is based upon two very fine designs for a Virginia state flag by Saul Zulske and Alan Hardy (see above). The red field represents the bloody wages of slavery, Virginia being the birth place of slavery in he United States. The iron chains represent the bondage and brutality endured by enslaved persons. The broken link, of course, represents the breaking of that bondage and the destruction slavery. The broken link also carries forward the symolism from the current state flag.

10 Stars, St. George Cross, and Fully Clothed Woman

Star and Spear Flag. I used Ken Morten's abstract yorktown design as a base with some reworking with the shapes but the same representation applies. I've then added a spear tip facing down (blue to match the american siide) through the upside down crown of tyranny (red to match the english triangle) with a star on top representing Virtue and the state itself.
This flag, called "end to tyranny" is a proposal for Virginia. the 10 stars represent Virginia being the 10th state put in to the Union. The blue bar represents all of the rivers, but mostly the James, as it was a huge part of our early history. The mountains represent the Shenandoah mountains and the heights Virginia has reached. the sword and crown represents the end of tyranny. The gold represents victory. the white represents purity, and the blue represents justice, and tyranny always will fall.
