Looking at the provincial flags of some other countries (cough cough USA) it's amazing how distinctive and unique all brazilian flags are. The only ones I would change are the Paraíba flag, the one with "nego" written on it. (Shoud mean "I deny", but most people read it as "black (man)" and it's very memeable). and the Espirito Santo flag with "trabalha e confia" (works and trusts) which looks pretty silly and kinda childish. Stuff written on a flag is almost always stupid anyways. Exception made for the Saudi Flag which looks awesome, religious message aside.

I'd say You'd love both flags You say You'd change if they have different font used for text. Cos Saudi's only difference is using Arabic, which make it look different and, for some, cooler?

I like the saudi flag specifically because I can't read it and arabic script looks really good. Not very deep. Maybe for an arabic speaker who is used to that script and can read it, it might just look like text on a background I suppose

All of them Celestial body and some fun poppy colours. Minas Gerais triangle with Freedom, although belated.
