The Mozambique flag was adopted on May 1, 1983. The flag is based on the flag of the Mozambique Liberation Front, the organization that led the campaign for freedom from Portugal. The flag of Mozambique uses the traditional colors of Pan-Africa, black, yellow, red and green. The left center yellow triangle has the country's coat of arms. The emblem has a rifle and a hoe crossed over an open book. The Mozambique flag is the only national flag that features a rifle.

Commission members had already selected a new state seal design during their meeting last week, but on Tuesday they made a few modifications.

The final flag the commission recommends for the state to adopt may not exactly resemble the designs in their current form. Each design already has multiple alternate versions, so a star could get a different number of points, or a color could be added.

However, the commission stripped the state motto “L’etoile du Nord,” French for “Star of the North,” from the final seal design and replaced it with the Lakota “Mni Sota Makoce,” a phrase meaning “Land Where the Waters Reflect the Clouds.” The phrase is where Minnesota gets its name.

“I thought all six were strong, but emerging from public opinion and what I had heard and feedback from people from fellow Minnesotans, these were the top three that I think are the most unifying,” said Vice Chair Anita Gaul, who told reporters she expects the commission to narrow its choices to one finalist when members meet again Friday.

It was designed by Peter Pitman and his son Todd Pitman of St. Paul. While it’s hard to see, they say two loons appear in the design, something they say they noticed during the design process.

Its designer is 24-year-old Luverne resident Andrew Prekker, who says the “swallow tail” design is unique among flags of the world, and that he wanted to keep the design as simple as possible.

In third place is a blue and white wave-like pattern symbolizing the significance of water to the state. According to its designers, it “pays tribute to Minnesota’s diverse and dynamic landscape, with wisps of snow, clouds, and aurora reflected by pristine, bending waters, and a guiding, four-pointed North Star inspired by the symbols and astronomy of Dakota and Ojibwe tribes.”
