EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This presentation seeks to provide background on the civic symbols used by the City of Flagstaff and provide examples of similar symbols used by other governmental agencies. It also provides several options for how these symbols could be successfully redesigned.
INFORMATION:
The City of Flagstaff has an official City Seal defined in City Code and a widely used logo that is not defined in City Code. The city of Flagstaff does not have an official City Flag. Both existing symbols have been used by the City of Flagstaff for decades, though the logo is more recognizable and known through the community. There is also a discrepancy in the dates used on the current logo and seal.
