The city's semi-official flag is a blue-white-purple emblem in
the shape of a house which includes the Hebrew initials of the
city name on a white bedsheet. A motion to change the emblem is
now under discussion at the city council. The motion gained a
strong support and few suggestions have already been made.
Qiryat Bialik (a.k.a. Kiryat Bialik) is a municipality in the
Zevulun Valley (Emeq Zevulun) on the side of the road
between Haifa and Acre, 12 km North of Haifa. It was
founded in 1934 and named after the Israeli national poet H.N.
Bialik. It received the legal status of city in 1976. Population
35'000.

official gazette (Rashumot), 'Publications Gazette'
section (Yalkut HaPirsumim), YP 4668, 4 August 1998.

I stumbled on an old flag of Qiriat Bialik. I do not know what
the original background was maybe light blue, maybe white
it now looks like something grey ... I drew the two possible
versions.

Passing through Qiryat Bialik's local tennis courts I came
across an orange variant of the municipal flag. This is the only
place that I saw it (usually the white variant is used) so either
it is an old one or a special order for the tennis centre.

Municipality of Qiryat Bialik start to use also a new variant
side by side with the common white one. The new one is green.
