Woodstock Native Comments on Potential New State Flag, Voting Open

These are the top ten entries picked by the Illinois Flag Commission to replace the current one.

A designer who is a Woodstock native was interviewed by the Chicago Sun-Times for its article:

“Designers I talked to believe it’s important an Illinois state flag doesn’t simply become a second Chicago flag. Anthony Hall, designer and owner at Harebrained, has a knack for iconography that speaks to Chicagoans, from giardiniera and Jewel-Osco bags to dibs chairs and the Rat Hole.

“He grew up in Woodstock, ‘the furthest ’burbs you could still get WGN and WGN commercials,’ he said.

“‘I would never have designed this flag,’ he joked of the 10 finalists, ‘because it’s got no hotdog on it.’”
