The US flag is one of the most recognizable symbols in the world. Modifying it—even in jest—taps into something fundamental about how we imagine change and challenge the status quo through humor.
Step 1: Choose your base flag. Start with the current 50-star flag or design from scratch.
Step 2: Add a 51st state if you want. 'Catgirl State' is the meme option, but you can customize with any name you prefer.
Step 3: Pick your star arrangement (traditional grid, circle, or pure chaos mode).
Step 4: Choose stripe colors—from traditional red and white to rainbow or random chaos.
Step 5: Add a motto to make your flag truly yours. Download, screenshot, and share with friends.
The current US flag has 13 stripes (representing the original colonies) and 50 stars (one per state). It was last officially updated on July 4, 1960, when Hawaii became the 50th state. Before that, the flag looked slightly different every time a new state joined the union.
If a 51st state ever joins the union, the flag would officially change. The order of stars has evolved over time—some historical flag designs arranged them in different patterns, including circles and grids. This tool explores those possibilities in a fun, memetic way.
Throughout history, the flag has been redesigned roughly 27 times. The idea of the 'flag after the catgirl' is just the latest creative reimagining—joining a long tradition of people wondering what symbols might represent America's future.
