The Downtown Bellingham Partnership recently organized a contest to design a new flag for the City of Bellingham. The winner, Brad Lockhart, dug deep into the history of Bellingham and pulled together several important pieces of symbolism.
On his website Lockhart gives a peek into the creative process that lead to the finished product including photos of some early concept sketches and a few variations that he considered along the way.
Look for his flag flying around town as early as this summer!
