ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – Saint Louis County’s flag will have a new look in the near future, and county leaders seek help from residents in crafting its design.
Saint Louis County officials will host a series of workshops, beginning Tuesday, in which residents pitch their own designs and offer feedback on possible concepts.
The workshops are set for the following dates, times and locations:
Tuesday, Aug. 13 at Florissant Valley Library at 6 p.m.
Wednesday, Aug. 14 at Clark Family Library at 6 p.m.
Thursday, Aug. 15 at Grant’s View Library at 6 p.m.
The push for a new flag comes as St. Louis County launched a comprehensive rebrand earlier this year. Officials hope to promote the county’s diversity, history and future through the rebrand with a slogan of “Opportunity Central.”
“Saint Louis County is the economic engine of Missouri; however, our population has been stagnated for decades. This branding campaign and new flag will showcase the dynamic character of this county and that we are a welcoming place to live, work, and invest in your future,” said St. Louis County Executive Sam Page, via a news release.
County officials have partnered with the Kranzberg Arts Foundation to host the workshops. The county has not yet disclosed a timetable on when a final design could be selected and unveiled.
The county’s current flag, according to CRWFlags.com, primarily consists of blue, with traces of red, green, yellow, black and white, along with a seal of an ambiguous object.
