Waco City Council adopted and unveiled a new flag design replacing the previous suspension bridge design

Waco, TX – According to the state officials, the original flag, designed by Gwen Stewart in 1985, has served the City well for over three decades.

Stewart was the original department chair of the Texas State Technical Institute Commercial Arts & Advertising Program.

His suspension bridge design was selected in Nov. 1985 from hundreds of entries for a flag representing the City of Waco.

In 2015, discussion of state flag design inspired many governments to make a change moving away from detailed, complex imagery and toward the core principles of good flag design.

According to the North American Vexillological Association, the largest organization in the world devoted to the study of flags, good flag design needs simple and bold symbolism with a few basic colors.

The new design incorporates some of the most iconic aspects of Waco — the Brazos and Bosque Rivers and the Flying W, all while integrating our Waco-branded blues.
