my take on the Commiefornia flag

originally I had the text read "Commiefornia" or "Commiefornia Republic" but that's too meme-y; I wanted an unironic take on what the flag of a hypothetical communist state of California would look like

changed the white to gold because it's the golden state, also communism (duh)

I just copied the red and gold hues from China's flag because they look good together, but that might be too derivative

The hammer and sickle is more akin to the Soviet version, I just grabbed an svg from the internet

changed the bear's dark brown to black and the light brown to a different dark brown. looks sicker that way. also made the text black

simplified the grass patch to be one solid color because it's cleaner

as a bonus here's my original hand-drawn "Commiefornia" sketch. I was too lazy to detail the bear but I liked it enough to create the vector version seen above
