Once again, the City of Toledo flag has come into the news with the proposal that the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo conduct a contest to design a new flag. Two years ago, this caused such a stir with the public that the idea was tabled. Many were not impressed with the proposed new design, but even more importantly, the people liked our current flag and didn’t want to see it changed. The design, when presented two years ago, was done without the general public being informed. Most didn’t hear of it until the news that the new flag was going to be adopted by a vote of City Council. At that time, the designer was in the media promoting his design and several products with the proposed “new flag” of the City of Toledo. And he continues to do so along with his supporters at various outlets.
