The North American Vexillological Association (vexillogy is the study of flags) has the results of its 2001 poll of US and Canadian state/provicial flags.

New Mexico is the winner.

NAVA members favored strong, simple, distinctive flags, choosing New Mexico, Texas, and Quebec in first, second and third place, all with scores above 8. They scorned the “seal-on-a-bedsheet” design common to more than half of U.S. state flags, forcefully relegating those flags to the bottom of the heap with scores averaging less than 4.

Georgia is the loser.

One flag drew far more attention than all others did. NAVA members and the public both gave the new Georgia flag the lowest score—2.4 points—by the largest margin of any flag. Some even asked to give it negative points. They disparaged Georgia’s flag as “a scalawag”, “desolating”, “simply awful”, “hideous”, and “by far the ugliest”. Its complex design violates all the principles of good flag design, incorporating a seal, lettering, and a series of miniature historic flags (in incorrect order). One person derided it as “Five Flags Under Georgia”.

Colorado placed 16th. Odd, I’ve always cared for it.

The highest-scoring flags all embody the five basic principles listed in NAVA’s upcoming publication on flag design, Good Flag, Bad Flag:
1. Keep It Simple (The flag should be so simple that a child can draw it from memory…)
2. Use Meaningful Symbolism (The flag’s images, colors, or patterns should relate to what it symbolizes…)
3. Use 2–3 Basic Colors (Limit the number of colors on the flag to three, which contrast well and come from the standard color set…)
4. No Lettering or Seals (Never use writing of any kind or an organization’s seal…)
5. Be Distinctive or Be Related (Avoid duplicating other flags, but use similarities to show connections…)
