The blue represents the blue skies typical of Scottsdale and city color of blue. The copper represents the southwest, copper state, and the iconic sunsets.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/scottsdale9.pngscottsdale9This City of Scottsdale flag design is based on a petroglyph originally found on the west side of the McDowell Mountains near DC Ranch. In 1937, Frank Lloyd Wright relocated the boulder to Taliesin West, inspiring its symbol. It reflects the artistry of Scottsdale residents, ancient and modern. The clasping hands symbolize the collaborative spirit that has taken place in Scottsdale through the years resulting in such community amenities as the Indian Bend Wash and the Scottsdale McDowell Sonoran Preserve. The blue background is the same as in the Arizona and United States flags and reflects the municipal connection to the state and federal governments. The brown represents the color of the Sonoran Desert and the McDowell Mountains. The blue lines also symbolize the canals and washes, and the brown lines symbolize the mountains that surround the community. The negative space between the clasping hands creates an “S” for Scottsdale.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/scottsdale8.pngscottsdale8The middle of the flag features a sunburst in the middle of a pure white Giant Saguaro blossom, our state flower and a favorite of Scottsdale. Around the white flower blossom is a circle of bold deep blue and white rope representing our wild west heritage and lifestyle. The background is split horizontally with a golden tan on the bottom representing our arid desert landscape and a deep blue representing our year round beautiful skies. The blue is similar to our state, county, and country flags.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/scottsdale7.pngscottsdale7The icons of the cactus and the mountain range were chosen to represent the beautiful horizons and mountain ranges surrounding Scottsdale. Highlighted are the breathtaking, radiant sunsets, represented by the blaze of orange and yellow. The deep royal blue was chosen to create a visceral connection to the depth of elegance within Scottsdale.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/scottsdale6.pngscottsdale6The Scottsdale flag consists of 4 red mountain peaks representing the McDowell Mountains with the Saddleback Mountain in the middle and the highest peak in the east (far left side of flag). The McDowell Mountain preserve is central to Scottsdale wildlife and resident activities. The weld-yellow sky is symbolic of Arizona’s beautiful sunsets. The blue at the bottom of the flag represents the Salt-River which runs through the southern border of Scottsdale. In the center is Scottsdale’s official city seal, a rider astride a bucking horse, which symbolizes the deep roots in the old west and western activities. The Scottsdale flag resembles the Arizona flag in color scheme which allows it to be more easily recognized by Arizona residents or people visiting from out of state.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/scottsdale5.pngscottsdale5The blue triangle represents the McDowell Mountains as seen from a distance. The compass rose represents the travel industry, which makes up a large part of Scottsdale's economy. Its white color symbolizes the cleanliness of the city. The three stripes are arranged to represent a sunset. The red stripe represents the beauty of Scottsdale and the surrounding desert. The orange stripe pays homage to Scottsdale's original name, Orangedale, and to the citrus trees planted upon its founding. The yellow stripe represents the abundant sunshine. The yellow and blue were borrowed from the coat of arms of the city's founder, Winfield Scott. All colors but orange and white are the same shades used on the Arizona state flag.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/scottsdale4.pngscottsdale4Scottsdale, "The West's Most Western Town", is synonymous with relaxation, open spaces, natural beauty, blue skies, sunshine, luxury, amazing events, and warm, welcoming people. This flag design reflects this. The American-flag/Arizona-flag blue at the top represents the 300+ days of clear blue skies stretching from horizon to horizon. There is a luxurious gold strip horizontally across the middle. The luscious green at the bottom represents our verdant spring desert, the preserve and the mountains that surround our dale. The white symbol at the center is a simplified version of the city seal, and is both a cowboy’s spur and a sun. It has ten points to spell out the name SCOTTSDALE.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/scottsdale3.pngscottsdale3Having fallen in love with Scottsdale and moved here 3 years ago, these elements are why my husband and I are now permanent residents: the glorious sun, the stark blue sky, the undulating mountains and the magnificent flora. With an average of 314 days of sunshine, who wouldn’t want to live here?! Sunshine makes people happy and should be a key element on our flag. In 1994, the first parcel of land was dedicated as the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. This vast treasure, taking up just over 25% of Scottsdale, is a draw for locals and visitors alike as the largest urban park in the U.S. From the spring wildflowers to the ever towering saguaros, the stunning beauty of our flora is unmatched. These 4 elements together make up Scottsdale’s new flag.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/scottsdale2.pngscottsdale2Our stark blue sky creates a bold backdrop for our 48-square mile Preserve, making up more than 25% of the city limits. The outline of the mountain is meant to represent a portion of our 181 miles of trails. It’s only fitting to have a majestic sagurao on “West’s Most Western Town” city flag. Incorporated just in 1951, so many of the saguaro’s we see today were here well before then, thus becoming one of our city’s most loved icons.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/scottsdale1.pngscottsdale12018-02-14T21:47:32+00:00monthlyhttps://portlandflag.org/2018/02/13/re-imagining-the-royal-and-vice-regal-flags-of-the-commonwealth/https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/personal_flag_of_queen_elizabeth_ii_rectangular-svg.pngPersonal_flag_of_Queen_Elizabeth_II_(rectangular).svgQueen Elizabeth II's personal flag.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/commonwealth_realms_map-svg.pngCommonwealth_realms_map.svghttps://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/qe2-personal.pngqe2-personalElizabeth II's personal flag.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/australian-standard.pngaustralian-standardCurrent Australian royal standard.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/proposed-svatg-govgen.pngproposed-svatg-govgenProposed flag of the governor-general of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/proposed-jamaica-govgen.pngproposed-jamaica-govgenProposed flag of the governor-general of Jamaica.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/proposed-barbados-govgen.pngproposed-barbados-govgenProposed flag of the governor-general of Barbados.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/proposed-nz-govgen.pngproposed-nz-govgenProposed flag of the governor-general of New Zealand.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/proposed-tuvaluan-standard.pngproposed-tuvaluan-standardProposed Tuvaluan royal standard.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/proposed-grenadian-standard.pngproposed-grenadian-standardProposed Grenadian royal standard.2019-02-16T14:16:24+00:00monthlyhttps://portlandflag.org/2018/02/12/chicago-flags-finds-a-new-home-in-gresham/https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/joe-griffin.pngjoe-griffinJoe Griffin and fellow firefighters at Gresham Fire Station 76.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/orelove-troutdale.pngorelove-troutdaleMichael Orelove at Troutdale Fire Station 75.2018-02-12T05:29:37+00:00monthlyhttps://portlandflag.org/2018/02/11/flag-burning-in-portland/https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/eric-post.jpgeric-postEric Posthttps://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/anti-trump.pnganti-trumpAnti-Trump protesters burn an upside-down flag downtown, 20 January 2017.

It is very simple but very distinguishing."https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/simpler4-coralspringsflag_kennethariza.pngsimpler4-coralspringsflag_kennetharizaKenneth Ariza: "Inspired by the city slogan, “Everything under the Sun”. And by the Everglades that is close to home. The design is simple and modernistic. The half yellow circle symbolizes the sun setting behind the green stripe that symbolizes the Everglades. The bottom blue stripe symbolizes our surrounding oceans. The hues were chosen from top to bottom in order for the exterior colors to blend in nicely in the center. It gives the flag a gentle flow from a warm colored sun to a cool blue tone. From a distance it is easy to depict that the flag portrays a city that cares about its environment."https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/simpler3-alejandro-sanchez-flag-1.pngsimpler3-Alejandro-Sanchez-Flag-1Alejandro Sanchez: "My flag shows three stripes and five rays. The green line represents the green grasses of Coral Springs. The light blue represents the blue sky’s, Coral Springs always has. The yellow rays are the rays from the sun that constantly shine above us. The dark blue represents the night and its covered by a sun ray because even though there is no sunlight during the night; the nights in Coral Springs are always warm."https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/simpler2-lopez-nic-flag-1.pngsimpler2-Lopez-Nic-Flag-1Nicole Utrera: "The shapes are supposed to represent the ground, sky, and sun with the rising ground symbolizing how Coral Springs is growing as a city."https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/simpler1-csflag_1-3.pngsimpler1-CSFlag_1-3Andres Franky: "The flag represents the

Portland Flag by Megan Young of Portland"Portland Flag" by Megan Young Designer's comments: The design of this flag is to represent events, and land surrounding Portland, Maine. The Blue background represents the water that Portland is surrounded by. The Yellow Stripe, and white buoys across the flag represent the city wealth of fishing, and making money off the water. The buoys are white for purity. Finally the 4 red stars on the four white buoys represent the four times Portland was burned to ground. I thought this was a simple design that has all the elements for city on the water with historic meaning as well. Contest judge Ted Kaye's comments: The four buoys effectively impart the maritime heritage of Portland and the symbolism of “four” in an effective, recognizable image.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/09-jewel-of-casco-bay-by-jeff-woodbury-of-south-portland.jpg09 Jewel of Casco Bay by Jeff Woodbury of South Portland"Jewel of Casco Bay" by Jeff Woodbury Designer's comments: Green for Forest City. Blue for Casco Bay. The zigzag echoes waves on a rocky coast. Portland is the central point: the peninsula in the center, pointing to the stars. Indents above and below center represent the Fore and Presumpscot Rivers. 12 stars shine for the 12 major islands of Casco Bay. Each 4-pointed star is a compass rose, symbolizing both direction and the individuality of Mainers. The stars in a grid combine to weave the warp and weft of lobster traps and sailcloth. Turned on its end, green side down, the constellations illuminate forested mountains. Green side up, and ships rest safely at anchor. Uncomplicated, but not simplistic. A flag for Portland. Judge Ted Kaye's comments: It’s refreshing to see the division of a flag’s field hold meaning—in this case the serrated line representing the division of coast and sea. The four-pointed stars for islands create an effective pattern.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/08-portland-the-phoenix-rising-by-kirk-simpson-of-york.jpg08 Portland The Phoenix Rising by Kirk Simpson of York"Portland: The Phoenix Rising" by Kirk Simpson Designer's comments: This four-color design utilizes form and shape. The phoenix form shares its form as pine trees as well utilizing a blue bar on the bottom for water with the rising phoenix and sun with reflection on the water of the bay. Judge Ted Kaye's comments: This version of a phoenix, with tremendous meaning for fire-ravaged Portland, is far better than San Francisco’s and rivals Phoenix, Arizona’s.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/07-north-star-pennant-by-nicolas-roose-of-belgium.jpg07 North Star Pennant by Nicolas Roose of BelgiumNorth Star Pennant" by Nicolas Roose Designer's comments: One is the flag of the Isle of Portland (England), the place that Portland-ME was named for. It has two horizontal bands of green & blue on the fly side and on the hoist side a vertical band of 'limestone', with a white tower and a crown on it. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Portland The other flag is the original flag of Maine that was used until the current flag was adopted in 1909. It consisted of a green pine tree in the center and a blue North Star on a buff-colored background. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Maine For this new Portland-ME flag design, I charged the green & blue horizontal bands from the first flag with a buff-colored pennant-shaped triangle containing the blue North Star from the second flag. The result is a flag that is easily recognizable from afar. An 1 x 1.67 inch scaled image of the flag will prove that. The design is simple enough for a child to draw from memory. The number of colors is limited to three. Green is for the mainland, the woods in particular, as Portland is known as the Forest City. Blue is for the ocean, to which Portland Harbor serves as a major gateway. The buff color refers to the buff background of the original Maine flag and adds the necessary contrast between blue and green. The main element of the flag is the North Star. It is the mariner's guide in conducting his ship over the ocean to his haven and therefore it became the symbol of the state's motto: Dirigo (I lead). As the largest city of Maine, Portland has a leading role in the state's economy. That is why I gave the North Star such a predominant position on the flag. Placing it on a pennant-shaped triangle also reflects the maritime heritage of the city. "It is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken It is the star to every wandering bark Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken" (Shakespeare, Sonnet 116) The design of the flag is distinctive as it does not duplicate any other flag, not even with alternate colors (as far as I know). It relates both to its English namesake and to the state of Maine and replaces the lettering and seal of the current flag with meaningful symbolism. In short, this is the kind of flag that might just make certain people of Portland-OR jealous, even while their own flag is already highly rated in the world of vexillology. In conclusion, I named my undeniably rectangular flag 'The North Star Pennant.' This pays homage to my fellow countryman René Magritte and his Treachery of Images: 'Ceci n'est pas un pennon'. Yes, I admit, I'm from Belgium. Judge Ted Kaye's comments: The colors and shapes in this design carry great overlapping meaning, and its overall “look” just shouts “nautical” — appropriate for Portland.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/06-portland-beacon-by-matthew-moray-of-south-portland.jpg06 Portland Beacon by Matthew Moray of South Portland"Portland Beacon" by Matthew Morey Designer's comments: The purpose behind this design for the flag of Portland is to display a beacon of pride in being a Portlander and a beacon of welcome to all others, just as the lighthouses of Portland welcome ships into its harbor. The lighthouse also represents Portland’s rich history in the maritime industries which helped Portland become the diverse, ever-growing city it is today. The goal was to accomplish all this with simple and dynamic use of shapes and a reference to the original blue and gold color scheme of the current flag. Judge Ted Kaye's comments: An outstanding rendition of a lighthouse—not a particular site but an allegory for Portland as a beacon—makes for a stunning design.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/05-sunny-bird-by-natalia-lefebvre-of-portland.jpg05 Sunny Bird by Natalia Lefebvre of Portland"Sunny Bird" by Natalia Lefebvre Designer's comments: I've been living in Portland for about 2 years now attending Maine College of Art. I have to get up early every morning for school. On my way walking to my school I see the beautiful sun shining between the buildings of Portland. I also hear seagulls throughout the day. The view of the sun is like no other that I've experienced. I think it represents Portland very well. Seagulls don't live everywhere in the world but they definitely live in Portland. I guess when I designed this flag I wanted to represent Portland the way an outsider see it. What I've noticed that's unlike anywhere else. This is what I see. Judge Ted Kaye's comments: While all port cities have seagulls, this simple and effective imagery creates a successful design.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/04-portland-liberty-by-jeremy-hammond-of-south-portland.jpg04 Portland Liberty by Jeremy Hammond of South Portland"Portland Liberty" by Jeremy Hammond Designer's comments: This flag is includes popular Portland symbolism and is also designed to fly well with the American flag. Judge Ted Kaye's comments: This simple, conservative design could represent a state or even a country—the anchor is a great symbol.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/03-resurgam-flag-2-by-jeremy-hammond-of-south-portland.jpg03 Resurgam Flag 2 by Jeremy Hammond of South Portland"Resurgam Flag 2" by Jeremy Hammond Designer's comments: Blue and gold represent the sea and prosperity and provide continuity with the current Portland flag. In true heraldic form, the image of several overlapping anchors depicts a busy port. The number of anchors was chosen to honor the four fires the city has survived and in visual form to exclaim the city's motto, Resurgam. Contest judge Ted Kaye's comments: This stand-out design combines two symbolic themes—the nautical history of Portland and its four fires—in a striking, effective, and recognizable image. I would be proud to live under this flag.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/02-guiding-flag-of-portland-maine-revised-by-vince-facchiano-of-wilmington-delaware.jpg02 Guiding Flag of Portland, Maine (Revised) by Vince Facchiano of Wilmington, Delaware"Guiding Flag of Portland, Maine" by Vince Facchiano Designer's comments: The number of colors (three) represent the past, present and future of the city. The flag is horizontally symmetrical, so there is never a concern that the flag could be mistakenly flown upside-down. Also it will still look appropriate when flown/display vertically (long-ways top to bottom) or on an angled pole. The blue triangle provides a nautical theme as if it was a pennant, but actually represents the peninsula of land that Portland was originally settled on and occupies. The two golden yellow triangles point inward, towards Portland together representing the rising sun, and separately the Atlantic Ocean (top) and the more immediate river, cove/harbor, and bay that surround Portland (bottom). The golden yellow represents the water, a main stay of industry and wealth providing abundance and transportation. The medium, lighter color blue presents the land of Portland and its strength and history (the past), which the city is tied to. It points outward to the golden yellow (the future) and brightness of the sun and sunrise. The lighter shade blue is lighter because it is a mix of the dark blue from the waters of Portland and the lighter blue of heavens and sunlit sky, and Portland is where the two meet and combine. It also brings in the blue of the Union or starfield/canton of the U.S. flag and field of the Maine flag, but is lighter because Portland is city within the two and obtains its full strength from the two. The single ship’s wheel is Portland itself; representing strength, guidance, control, and power as a city itself and within Maine, the region, and the United States. It has eight handles representing the four cardinal directions and the four equal divisions; NW, NE, SW, SE, providing a steady, reliable port and home for all those who come to her. Together, they are a constellation in the heavens provide guidance. Colors are white, "Royal Blue" PMS 286 and "Golden Yellow" PMS 1235, both stock nylon colors for easy manufacturing in both sewn and dyed flag production. Judge Ted Kaye's comments: While the white band may not stand out well against the yellow, the multi-part symbolism of the ship’s wheel and stars carries important meaning.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/01-the-buoy-revised-by-laura-clapp-of-kittery.jpg01 The Buoy (Revised) by Laura Clapp of Kittery"The Buoy" by Laura Clapp Designer's comments: I decided to design a lobster buoy representing the lobster industries that are so popular in Portland. The sun is rising in the background because we see the sun rise on the east coast here. The blue represents the water, as well as the sky because of the beautiful weather here when spring and summer come around. The green represents the seaweed in the ocean. Overall I wanted to capture the element of serenity that the ocean provides, as well as the calm of the sunrise early in the morning. The colors of the buoy are bright and fun because Portland is such a fun place to be in. The red represents the brick historical buildings seen all over Portland. Not only is Portland right by the ocean but the downtown area is quaint and cheerful and there are so many different people here. Portland is a town loved by many people and I tried by best to capture the fun, calm, and beautiful aspects of it. Judge Ted Kaye's comments: This whimsical design would counter the stiff formality of the state flag.2016-05-12T01:19:51+00:00monthlyhttps://portlandflag.org/2016/05/05/register-now-for-nava-50/https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/nava50.pngnava502016-05-05T17:21:37+00:00monthlyhttps://portlandflag.org/2016/05/04/city-flag-improvements-update/2016-05-04T22:56:16+00:00monthlyhttps://portlandflag.org/2016/04/30/improving-the-design-of-the-us-flag/https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/image001.pngimage001https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/usaflag.pngusaflaghttps://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/1235px-flag_of_the_united_states-svg.png1235px-Flag_of_the_United_States.svg2020-12-22T17:52:16+00:00monthlyhttps://portlandflag.org/2016/04/22/czech-municipal-flags/https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/540749.gif540749https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/540641.gif540641https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/540625.gif540625https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/540609.gif540609https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/540595.gif540595https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/540501.gif540501https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/538256.gif538256https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/536075.gif536075https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/533157.gif533157https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/509647.gif5096472016-04-22T18:37:25+00:00monthlyhttps://portlandflag.org/2016/04/18/ted-kaye-on-flag-stories/https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/flag-layouts.pngflag-layoutshttps://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/flag-families.pngflag-families2016-04-21T06:32:33+00:00monthlyhttps://portlandflag.org/2016/04/07/84-designs-proposed-for-portland-maine/https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/youn3-600x360.jpgyoun3-600x360https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/youn2-600x386.jpgyoun2-600x386https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/youn1-600x359.jpgyoun1-600x359https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/woodbury-600x360.jpgwoodbury-600x360https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wittman5-600x360.jpgwittman5-600x360https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wittman4-600x360.jpgwittman4-600x360https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wittman3-600x360.jpgwittman3-600x360https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wittman2-600x360.jpgwittman2-600x360https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wittman1-600x360.jpgwittman1-600x360https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/williamson2-600x466.jpgwilliamson2-600x4662016-04-07T21:17:30+00:00monthlyhttps://portlandflag.org/2016/04/05/ted-kaye-headed-to-milwaukee/2016-05-07T07:50:10+00:00monthlyhttps://portlandflag.org/2016/04/04/happy-birthday-hong-kong-flag/https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/proposed_flag_for_hong_kong_sar_001.jpgProposed_flag_for_Hong_Kong_SAR_001https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/proposed_flag_for_hong_kong_sar_002.jpgProposed_flag_for_Hong_Kong_SAR_002https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/proposed_flag_for_hong_kong_sar_003.jpgProposed_flag_for_Hong_Kong_SAR_003https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/proposed_flag_for_hong_kong_sar_004.jpgProposed_flag_for_Hong_Kong_SAR_004https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/proposed_flag_for_hong_kong_sar_005.jpgProposed_flag_for_Hong_Kong_SAR_005https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/proposed_flag_for_hong_kong_sar_006.jpgProposed_flag_for_Hong_Kong_SAR_006https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/proposed_flag_for_hong_kong_sar_007.jpgProposed_flag_for_Hong_Kong_SAR_007https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/proposed_flag_for_hong_kong_sar_008.jpgProposed_flag_for_Hong_Kong_SAR_008https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/proposed_flag_for_hong_kong_sar_009.jpgProposed_flag_for_Hong_Kong_SAR_009https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/proposed_flag_for_hong_kong_sar_010.jpgProposed_flag_for_Hong_Kong_SAR_0102016-04-05T00:26:36+00:00monthlyhttps://portlandflag.org/2016/04/01/canada-rejoins-the-club/https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ap_29129843317.jpgCommonwealth Heads of State Meeting - Malta - Day 2Commonwealth Heads of State Meeting - Malta - Day 2.

After hours of wandering the chilled forest, I stumbled out of the thicket and into an open field. Looming before me was a single doug fir, with the moon glaring behind it in all its glory. I call it "Cascadia by Night." I have been designing flags almost nonstop in the past few months. The Portland Flag Association has really inspired me.

The star’s six points reflects the city’s six council districts, and is positioned within the far-left area of white, a color that represents the city’s diverse cultural and religious influences. The initial blue area symbolizes the St. Joseph River which brought Native Americans and settlers to the area. The “s” shape also invokes the city’s name—South Bend. The thin strip of white is symbolic of peace, as taken from the city of South Bend seal, and serves as a bridge to the future, which is represented with the remaining blue, to be associated with stability, confidence, and innovation—characteristics intended to keep South Bend’s pioneering spirit alive."https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/south_bend_flag_2.jpgSouth_Bend_Flag_2Jesse Villagrana's design: "The flag consists of three symbols: the navy chevron (arrow) represents the St. Joseph River and South Bend’s connectivity - by road (within one day’s drive of South Bend, one can reach 80 percent of the U.S. population), rail, air, river and fiberoptics. The six-pointed star represents South Bend’s ethnically diverse population. And the yellow represents innovation—different people, working on different things, colliding together in unexpected ways and bringing new ideas to South Bend."https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/south_bend_flag_1.jpgSouth_Bend_Flag_1Jeffrey Koenig's design: "This design was inspired from a beloved lapel pin that is thought to have been created during the Kernan administration. The pin has a yellow background and blue river—in an “s” shape—going through the center. There are five, six-sided stars across the top. The six-sided star was chosen to represent the South Bend’s six council districts. There are five stars to mark the city’s five eras, as identified in South Bend 150 literature—Early History, Incorporation, Peak Industry, Rediscovery, and Innovation (present time)."https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/sb_flag_embiggened.pngSB_Flag_embiggenedSouth Bend, Indianahttps://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/process.pngprocesshttps://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/sb_flag_png.pngSB_Flag_PNG2020-08-02T15:53:30+00:00monthlyhttps://portlandflag.org/2016/03/07/ted-kaye-on-the-nz-flag-debate/https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ted-on-trt.pngted-on-trt2016-03-06T22:28:27+00:00monthlyhttps://portlandflag.org/2016/03/03/a-treasure-trove-of-vexillology/https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/canadian-city-flags-bookcover.jpgcanadian-city-flags-bookcoverhttps://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/russian-regional-flags-bookcover.jpgrussian-regional-flags-bookcoverhttps://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/american-city-flags-bookcover.jpgamerican-city-flags-bookcoverhttps://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/native-american-bookcover-edited.jpgnative-american-bookcover-editedhttps://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/native-american-bookcover.jpgnative-american-bookcoverhttps://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/raven1.jpgravenhttps://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/raven.jpgraven2016-03-03T08:57:21+00:00monthlyhttps://portlandflag.org/2016/03/01/happy-belated-leap-day/https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/puertoricancoqui.jpgPuertoRicanCoquihttps://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/pr-coqui.jpgpr-coquiCoqui - the tree frog national mascot of Puerto Rico - on the commonweath's flag.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/hijum-netherlands.gifhijum-netherlandsFlag of the village of Hijum, Netherlands.

Bertha Bendell Norton in the book "Birmingham's First Magic Century: Were You There?" writes: The white symbolizes the purity of Birmingham's women. The red typifies the valor of Birmingham's men. The gold hints at the mineral wealth of the Birmingham District, and also represents the "high standard of purpose and character" of our citizens. The large red star represents the marvel of the young city. The Seal of Birmingham, inscribed with the date of founding, 1871, occupies a gold-colored "hub" in the center of the star. The hub signifies that Birmingham is considered the industrial, financial and literary hub of the South. The star is circumscribed by a circle of 67 small golden stars, representing Alabama's 67 counties enjoying Birmingham's glory. A radiance of alternating long and short rays outside the circle of stars depict Birmingham's fame and prosperity, and suggests that "all roads lead to Birmingham".https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/finkel.pngfinkelRobert Finkel's design juxtaposes three white stars (symbolizing "Finance, Medicine, and the Arts") on a red bar at the hoist with "concentric gold lines" on a white field spanning filling the rest of the flag that "mimic steel rails" and form the letter B.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/kodis.pngkodisSteve Kodis' design is "a refresh of the original". The colors represent the "founding industries" of railroads (red), cotton (white), and banking (gold), and the star "symbolizes Birmingham as 'The Magic City'".https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/chambliss.pngchamblissJessi Chambliss' design is inspired by the world's largest cast iron statue atop Red Mountain in Birmingham of the Roman god of fire and forge, Vulcan.2015-10-08T06:54:23+00:00monthlyhttps://portlandflag.org/2015/10/06/vexilloid-tabloid-54/2015-10-06T15:07:53+00:00monthlyhttps://portlandflag.org/2015/09/26/brendan-patrick-hennessys-flog/https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/davenport.pngdavenportA flag for Davenport Road, Toronto. "A white crescent on black, from the English Davenport family's coat of arms. The blue triangles symbolize Davenport's ancient glacial lakeshore, and the sandy orange triangles symbolize its long history as a well worn native trail. The flag uses diagonal lines to symbolize how the road doesn't follow Toronto's usual grid system."

It is unclear who designed it, but it was understood as an adaptation of the flag their Cuban separatist friends. One account claimed that it came to Antonio Alvarado as an after-image of the Cuba flag he had been staring at on the wall of his Manhattan apartment. (Actually, however, the perceptual after-images of red and blue are green and yellow, respectively, not blue and red.) Different shades of blue are in use, sometimes representing different positions regarding PR's future status; the Cuban government's website shows both Royal Blue and Old Glory Blue versions.https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/flag_of_cuba-svg.pngFlag_of_Cuba.svgThe flag of Cuba, designed in 1849 by Venezuelan-Cuban soldier Narciso López and Cuban poet Miguel Teurbe Tolón to symbolize their effort to have the US annex Cuba from Spain. Whitney Smith writes: "The red triangle stood for strength and constancy, but it may also have reflected Masonic influences (triangles are Masonic symbols for equality and were found in a number of other flags in the former Spanish empire).

This flag has a strong counter charge aspect. The taller figure is the God Charon, the ferry man to underworld. The sitting black figure to the right represents a person crossing over to Hades. The boat is also shaped like a moon to denote Charon's bi-terminal status as a 'moon.' The staff of Charon is black and white denoting the elemental dichotomy between life and death. Near the upper hoist is the symbol of Pluto."https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/pyrrhosianglyphflag.pngPyrrhosianGlyphFlagA personal flag by "Ryrrhos the Red" on EstotericOnline: "A flag of personal value to and design from me. It has the astrological symbol for Pluto because 1.) Was one of three planets in the constellation of Libra when I was born (in October). and 2.) It represents Body/Physicality/Matter (Cross), Mana/Lifeforce/Energy (Crescent), and Ghost/Spirit/Soul (Circle). The colors also represent such (from black down to red), being a rough representation of the process of refinement in philosophical alchemy (putrefaction, calcification, etc.) and simultaneously representing my love for my German heritage."https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/flag_of_pluto_by_oni_defense-d7v4gex.pngflag_of_pluto_by_oni_defense-d7v4gexA flag design by ONI-Defense (on DeviantArt): "The flag for Pluto is simple, it's coloration representing both Pluto, ruler of the underworld, and the dwarf planet, Pluto being an ice world. The navy blue circles represent Pluto and its moons, Charon, Nix, Hydra, Kerberos, and Styx."https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/1024px-plutos_astrological_symbol-svg.png1024px-Pluto's_astrological_symbol.svgThe astrological symbol for Pluto: the symbol for Mercury, with arc and circle exchanged.

Now all orders of power, the Republicans take symbolic measures simultaneously transfer of the seat of government to Versailles (1871) in Paris (1879), amnesty for convicts of the Commune (10 July 1880), adoption of the Marseillaise as the national anthem (1879) and of 14 July national holiday (July 6, 1880). This first national festival aims to measure the event, in Paris and in the provinces but to enhance domestic local views as in Angers, Maine-et-Loire department Catholic and conservative. [1] Voting for the "Republic" brought together supporters of freedom and secularism who want to establish without delay equality through universal suffrage and genuine popular sovereignty. However France 1880 is neither unanimous nor peaceful, and the new rulers do not openly display their doctrine: time is not propaganda, but the Republican opportunism. Throughout the festive program adopts the same ritual: concerts in the gardens, decoration of some places, illuminations, fireworks and indigent relief distributions. In Paris must dominate the distribution of new flags to the army, at Longchamp.

He exclaimed "I'll call her Old Glory, boys, Old Glory!". Years later, in 1862, after keeping the flag safe in Nashville during the Civil War, Driver was given permission to raise his flag over the Tennessee state capitol, making Old Glory famous as the first US flag to fly over a former Confederate capitol. (By 1862 the US flag had grown to 34 stars, but Driver was persuasive!)https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/1235px-us_20_star_greatstar_flag-svg.png1235px-US_20_Star_GreatStar_Flag.svgThe 20-star flag, adopted 4 July 1818. One of nine US flags that lasted only one year, this flag added 5 stars for Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee, and was replaced the following 4th of July by the 21-star flag recognizing Illinois statehood. Before 1912 the arrangement of the stars was not specified, allowing beautiful designs like this Great Star to circulate.2015-07-03T04:15:42+00:00monthlyhttps://portlandflag.org/2015/05/29/vexilloid-tabloid-52/https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/quote1.pngquotehttps://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/sims-omsec-flag.pngsims-omsec-flaghttps://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/smartphone.pngsmartphoneOur smartphones can now sport the Portland city flag. Cases like that on the left are available on Zazzle, Etsy, and Amazon. But as this illustration shows, when the phone is held upright, the flag is actually shown upside (hoist side) down. The two designs on the right would remedy this: the middle design is just the front of the flag rotated (the way you would hang most flags vertically), the rightmost design is the back of the flag rotated (hung the way the US flag is supposed to be when seen vertically, with the "canton" in the upper left).https://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/max-portland.pngmax-portlandParticipants in a recent Reddit “Design your own Portland TriMet MAX train” used the Cascadia and Portland flags as prospective light-rail decoration schemes.

The School Council led the project, liaising with their tutor groups and bringing ideas together to produce a final design. Although this was a whole school contribution about 15 pupils work together to produce the final product, We chose a green background to represent nature and the green spaces where we are free to play and enjoy the fresh air. We have shaped the main design like a fern leaf and chose white and brown to show that Ferndown is clean and surrounded by woodlands. The School Council decided that people were the most important part of our community and we chose to include different people to reflect diversity. The hands are linked to show that we all work together."

It has so many different facets, it is so sophisticated. And it’s the same with flags — they work on you in a mysterious way." Flags at the Gastonbury festival, from anguswatt.nethttps://portlandflag.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/nz-pier-flags-copy.jpegNZ-pier-flags-copy"These large flags are called “Living Standards”. They were originally commissioned by the Cornish Tate Gallery to celebrate the solar eclipse of 1999. Working in conjunction with the St Ives International organization and the local councils. The flags were designed to work with the exceptional winds coming off the Atlantic. Using a subtle blend of pastel shades, they were conceived to be a roaming program, appearing at three locations over three weeks in West Penwith, Cornwall.
