City Flag

[mkjeeves]

Some really good ideas. Kerry, I like several you have come up with and I guess most of the others are just modifications of your design. Some of them are worth considering. I don't like that last one only because it looks too "busy." But, he's contributed some good stuff in this thread.

I also agree that once there is a really good city flag - we could see it darn near everywhere. It shows a sense of pride that we should have for our city.

I believe most are iterations based on Shadowstrings' design.

I like the last iteration with the white star, but if we wanted to get rid of the scissor tail, what if we want back to my original concept with the thicker "K" and squared off "C."

[baralheia]

Yeah, I have to admit I think the five star, scissor tail flag is the best design so far... Followed closely by the single star in a circle design. I'd be proud as heck to fly either one in front of my house.

[mkjeeves]

This is my current personal favorite in the series. It's less formal than I would expect a city government to embrace.

[zookeeper]

Sorry Shadowstrings. I didn't mean to slight you, I was just mistaken about Kerry putting that design up first. Thanks mkjeeves for pointing it out.

I think my favorite one so far is the one that is Kerry's profile pic. I really like the five stars.

On a related note, since my living space is going to be reduced my hobbies need to start taking up less space as well so I am going to start collecting the 3" x 5" flags. I can buy State and National flags on-line but does anyone know a local place that I can get custom made mini-flags for cities? Most cities don't have flags available in that size.

[Martin]

for that size i wonder if your best bet is a monogram/embroidery shop. -M

Sorry, 4"x 6".

Like this.

You might try emailing those folks? Maybe they would like to expand their line if they had an idea there might be some demand. For one-off, inkjet fabric or iron-on transfers?

[Martin]

Sorry, 4"x 6".

gotcha... if you don't want/need the flags to be embroidered, then maybe a screen printing shop could help you out. -M

Maybe I should just go on Alibaba and order 100 of each and sell them myself.

...and I'll make my own design for cities with bad ones.

I bought 300 4" square embroidered patches via email from someone named Mimi in Taiwan back in 2007 using an email address someone gave me. Cost me something like $238 and then the customs hit me with another $70 or so import fee. (They actually called me from where ever they intercepted them.)

[mkjeeves]

I looked up the old emails. The internet has gotten better since then. It was these people and they show making flags. I don't think they had a website at the time. I wired them the money. We did all the rest of it with email. Fedx package was $70 of the cost.

They were give-aways. I hadn't planned on paying an import fee and that hurt the budget a bit. Professional custom patches by Hsin Ruey Embroidery

You could start with a SoSA flag.

SoSA? South of St Anthony's?

I'd really like to see one of these designs get pushed forward. It is a unique and marketable design, I think.

[baralheia]

Get some of the 5-star design flags printed up in a 3'x5' size, and I will happily buy one. I would LOVE to fly this design in front of my house!

[AP]

I know people at the City read this board. I wish they would pick it up and run with it.

[baralheia]

Me too. Apologies if this was posted earlier, but I do know the City is open to the idea of changing the city flag... Flag designs lead to civics lesson for Oklahoma City students | News OK

Interesting to note that the current design was adopted in '94.

Not sure I like any of the 'contenders'.

I think I just came up with the perfect flag for New Zealand.

You mean that isn't their current flag? What a disappointment.
