Salina’s official flag was designed by Steve Haller, 929
East Minneapolis, and was accepted at a Special Meeting of the Board of
Commissioners on August 8, 1966.
The flag design was chosen by the flag
design committee: Mrs. Glen Bramwell, Chairman; Mrs Lewis Crawford, and Herschel
Logan, from 83 designs submitted by 45 persons, and recommended to the City
Commission.
The shield represents the cities solidarity on a yellow field,
representing wheat;
The red, white, and blue colors in the shield represent
the three types of government under which the city has grown;
The star in the
shield represents the cities role as county seat;
The lines radiating from
the star represent the major highways which serves Salina;
The three lines
which divide the lower part of the shield represent the Three Rivers in Salina
area;
The wheel represents Salina’s pioneer past;
The cog represents the
city’s present industry and agriculture;
The atomic symbol represents the
city's future.
