Behold, a beloved flag design begets appropriation and use as a symbol of civic pride and engagement! This is instantly recognizable as the flag of the City of Saint Louis.

If there are battle lines being drawn over the #BeehiveFlag, let it be known that we are on the side of the new Utah state flag because it clearly ROCKS and the old one smells like SOCKS
Behold how the colors really stand out against the grey and green of the Aberdeenshire countryside

"Just, ugh. F tier."
Seattleite @RayDubicki nails the current Seattle Flag to the wall, wondering (as we do) if the flag depicts "a moment of conception."

As a civic heraldry-minded organization, we think about the organic development of symbols, colors, and a particular place in a collective human imagination. In Seattle, that development of symbolic 'tinctures' happens through professional sport:
Seawolves
Sounders FC
Seahawks

Then there is the 'blue' family, which includes the Mariners and the new NHL Kraken... Note the red in the eye of the Kraken symbol, from 2021. The Dragons (previous slide) are from 2020, and also feature a red tincture. A new development? Let's keep our eyes out.

We've noticed that the Final Five, oops we mean Final Twelve @SpokaneCity flag designs are circling in the wild but we'll reserve any promotion/discussion until we see an official post from @spokaneflag! Exciting times!

We are all desperate to know, @spokaneflag, if we will be able to see the top 100 designs that were preferred before they get winnowed further. Any chance we get to peek? Pretty please with powdered sugar and a cherry on top???
@kate4spokane ?? Pleeeaaaassseee?
We are extremely excited to see which designs were the most 'loved' for our sister city. Will @spokaneflag be releasing the results of the first round of global input into the potential designs?
