FIVE BASIC GUIDELINES/PRINCIPLES OF FLAG DESIGN

• Keep it simple- the flag should be of simple design that is easily identifiable

• Useful meaningful symbolism- The flag’s images, colors and patterns should relate to what it symbolizes

• Use 2 or 3 basic colors- Limit the number of colors on the flag to three which contrast well and come from the standard color set

• Lettering or seals- Avoid lettering or seals, with the exception of the approved phrase “City of Stanton”, which is optional

• Be distinctive or be related- Avoid duplicating other flags, but use similarities to show connections
