What Do Two Designers Talk About on a Road Trip?

You’re in possible cartel-controlled territory. You’re doing your best to stay safe from roadside mobs. What do you talk about in the meantime?

The answer, of course, is flags.

We talked about Utah’s old flag — the one designers call the SOB: the seal on a bed sheet. At the time, rumors were already percolating that Utah might get a new flag, that a committee would form, that an initiative was coming.

We talked about how cool it would be if Utah got a great flag. We also knew how design by political committee usually goes — especially when politicians are involved. We were sure it would turn out awesome. Always.
