Job's a gud'un!Indianapolis also has one that's good:
It would have been enough to remove the seal and there would have been a good flag with no embellishments.Houston, TX
Here the same thing, take away the inscription and we have a European-style flag.Austin, TX
Since I live in the Suburbs of Austin, Texas (Pflugerville), I would've had the Texas State Capitol replacing the creepy lamp.Austin doesn't seem so bad to me. Although I admit Aladdin's Lamp is not the first thing that comes to mind when I want to symbolize Austin.
I take it you're NOT a fan of Houston's flag overall?It would have been enough to remove the seal and there would have been a good flag with no embellishments.

Either you give the coat of arms (a city seal if you removed the lettering around it and enlarged what was in the middle let's say and could pretend to be the city coat of arms) as a symbol of the city or you give the colors alone with simple symbolism do not combine the two.
A good example of these flags that I like are:
The unofficial flag of Radom, formally Radom does not have a city flag and only uses either the coat of arms or the county flag.
The county flag used as a substitute for the city flag.
No combination, the flag of Krakow. Two stripes, simple and pleasing to the eye.
Here another simple example from Warsaw, no fancy decorations. Just the colors of the coat of arms transferred to the flag, the same as with the Kraków flag. BTW, the flag of Poland is also the colors of the coat of arms transferred to the flag.
One last example, the flag of Gdansk. Coat of arms symbols transferred to the flag which has the color of the coat of arms shield.
Why do you Americans have to make life so complicated for yourselves and create this thing that can barely be called a city flag.
After all, it is not difficult, just two random even colors that are associated with the city, some symbol of the region and boom. You have a simple and pleasing to the eye flag.
As a last resort, you can always steal the colors from a well-known city sports team.
Or dig out some old painting depicting uniforms of soldiers coming from that city and give the colors of the flag on their colors. (Yes BTW the flag of Plock was made, an old legal act from 1792 was pulled out that the colors of the uniforms of the province of Plock were to be such and such, and such a flag was made).
But smaller, what other bad flags do you have that you might want to murder the authors of this abomination?
Wow, a corporate logo.Pflugerville, Texas (where I currently reside): it's a very intriguing city flag if you ask me
I take it you're NOT impressed with the City flag of Pflugerville, Texas?Wow, a corporate logo.
How many idiotic ideas do we have here.
First of all, the slogan, Where Quality Meets Life, this should be removed and if it is to serve as a city motto then please put it on some strip and put it somewhere where it will be visible but not on the flag.
For example, Radom also has a motto, Radom-Force in Precision, but this is placed mostly on the official website of the city or announcements under the coat of arms or flag.
Please, a nice logo with a slogan that is not also a flag.
And here's an example of an announcement, this time a renovation on one of the streets. You can see that the logo is used and it doesn't make a flag?
When you see something like this, and then what the Americans are doing, you can break down.
Worse that if Radom in America became a city would probably also come up with such a hopeless flag.
Secondly, you don't need a big sign where it is or the name of the city. This is placed elsewhere.
The colors are ok, let's say to make a simple two-stripe flag out of them. This is supposed to be a flag, not a corporate logo. The city for goodness sake is not a company!
I understand that need to advertise, but the flag is not for that. It is supposed to signify the city and not serve as an advertising tube.
And so very intriguing. So much so that I want to know why someone in the city government thought this flag was a good idea?
No, your confusion of what the Flag is supposed to be with the Promotional Log annoys me.I take it you're NOT impressed with the City flag of Pflugerville, Texas?
Doesn't London have a city flag too?No, your confusion of what the Flag is supposed to be with the Promotional Log annoys me.

I see you're NOT a fan of the City flag of Pflugerville, TexasThat flag sucks! Austins flag is okay although I think it would be more accurate if it was covered in pretentious teenagers, Because that city is full of those nowadays.
The Seattle flag is terrible.

The "City of Goodwill". Right. Where everyone carries pepper spray, nobody walks within arm's length of anyone, and no one ever so much as strikes up a conversation with a stranger. The text and the seal in the center are both tiny, with most of the flag dominated by a wave/knot thing of incomprehensible ugliness. The color is like what an infant throws up after drinking Berry Frost-flavored Pedialyte. Fuck this flag.
