    Well, if bannerlord is supposed to represent earlier medieval society than warband, then the designs are pretty historically accurate - if you look at flags and coats of arms of european kingdoms from 9-13th centuries, their banners are actually quite similar to bannerlord's - usually a simple, single-colored sigil on a plain, single-colored background. Here's a few examples:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_of_Portugal
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_León
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Castile
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Normandy
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Norway_(872–1397)
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Hungary
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Bulgarian_Empire
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Bulgarian_Empire
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Poland_(1025–1385)
    And banners from muslim countries of that time were often even more simplistic:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayyubid_dynasty
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatimid_Caliphate
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbasid_Caliphate
    So if you want to blame someone for the new banner designs you'd have to blame early-mid medieval banner designers. I personally think the design is quite fitting for the timeframe that bannerlord is meant to represent.
    You are talking about state's coat of arms though. And theme of thread is personal coat of arms of lords
    Well a state's coat of arms was the same as the king's coat of arms. If the king had such a simplistic coat of arms then it's reasonable to assume that it would be the general rule for all lords.
