Look at all the Kent flag submissions

- Ben Wolford

Back in July, Kent City Council said it wanted to update the city flag, a little-used banner designed by an elementary school student in 1975. Over 30 Kent residents submitted proposals that will go before a committee for consideration.

The deadline for submissions was Aug. 31, and The Portager requested them all.

If you want to see the full submissions, along with the designers’ rationales for their creations, you can see them in this Google Drive folder I created. Over 30 Kent residents submitted proposals, and some submitted multiple options.

I’ll also post a bunch of them below at random just to give you an idea. But definitely click through the folder if you want to see all the options that will be available to the flag committee.
