Summary
[edit]DescriptionKent, Ohio Flag 2023.png |
English: Official flag for the city of Kent, Ohio, adopted by city council June 21, 2023. The original concept was designed by Kent resident Zach Garster and modified by the Kent City Flag Committee.
The burgee-shaped of the flag reflects both the shape of the flag for the State of Ohio and Kent’s original flag. Blue symbolizes the Cuyahoga River and canals, which were a central piece of Kent’s past and a point of charm and appeal in modern times. Green symbolizes Kent’s nickname "The Tree City" and its environmental history. White symbolizes Kent’s history of seeking peace and harmony locally and globally. The simple modern design is meant to suggest Kent’s goal of civic progress and the city’s forward-looking spirit. A letter "K" can be seen from the green vertical center stripe and intersecting blue diagonal stripes. All the stripes point to the central star, forming arrows that are meant to point to the future. The four stripes, both green and blue, are meant to recall Kent’s four major eras of history, from pre-settlement, settlement and canal, railroad, and college town. They are also meant to celebrate an "intersection of cultures". The saltire ("X") formed by the blue stripes also symbolizes the railroads, which played a major role in the development and naming of Kent. The converging stripes form an eight-pointed star that symbolizes the North Star, which was used sometimes used on quilts that guided enslaved people escaping captivity. It also symbolizes Kent’s history of inclusion, diversity and forward thinking. |
