The California Laser Bear Flag is a modern novelty reinterpretation of the historic Flag of the State of California, also known as the Bear Flag. Such 'Laser X' type designs gained popularity after the widespread 'Minnesota Laser Loon' flag design spread to other states. This type of design was widely seen during the anti-ICE protest movements of 2026.

Preserving the core elements of the original design—a grizzly bear walking on green grass, a red star in the canton, and a red stripe along the bottom—this version humorously portrays the bear firing a red laser beam from its eyes. The exaggerated, surreal addition places the design in the tradition of internet meme culture and positions it as a laser loon–esque parody, where otherwise dignified animal symbols are reimagined with absurd, over-the-top laser vision. Blending California state pride with science-fiction humor and digital art trends, the flag is widely shared online as a playful, unofficial remix that reflects the state’s association with technology, innovation, and bold pop-culture imagery.
