Flag Design
I like flags, so I've dabbled at designing some myself. Click on any of the flags below to see them waving in the breeze!
Seattle Flag Redesigns
Given the tolerable but unimpressive current flag of Seattle (left), I have tried many times to create a flag to represent my hometown concisely and elegantly.
2018-19: the Hill & Mountain Swallowtail design
A swallowtail is a type of flag with a cutout on the right "fly" side, typically used on maritime flags. I used the swallowtail shape to reflect Seattle's seafaring history.
The teal is taken directly from the current flag, and represents the Seattle skies and waters, as well as the Indigenous history of the city.
The white represents the mountains surrounding the city, as well as the bright future brought by Seattleites.
The green represents the hills of Seattle and the
natural beauty of the city.
