Description of the flag

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Santa_Fe_County.jpg shows the new county flag (since 2023.11.21-22).

The new flag shows the new logo and can be seen in local official use at https://www.studioswarch.com

It is ~3:5 white with the logo on it, sized so that the height of each of the three squares, including the gap, is equal to half the flag’s height.

This logo was adopted in late December 2023, according to local news: https://www.santafenewmexican.com. It is made of three squares of different colors each bearing a white token of local importance, suitably stylized — this news story names it stenciled. It also indicates the colors as red, yellow, and turquoise, presumably transcribing from an official description, although I’d call the latter teal instead; the middle square is amber/golden, showing good contrast on the white background, and the color shade for the left side square is dark, Old Glory red.

The three elements depicted are:
on red - a vase of local pottery, with a zigzag motif
on yellow - the front of a local building, in traditional style
on turquoise - mountain peaks and a river

The lettering below the three squares reads "Santa Fe" and "County", the latter in smaller size and between under- and over-lines, all in heavy wide set brown serifless capitals.

There seems to be at least one variant of this logo, shown at https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FEha3PCh0jk/maxresdefault.jpg, apparently standing for the Santa Fe Trail historic route. I could find no details to confirm this. This variant use consists of the same three squares, in the same colors, with different white icons on them.

Santa Fe County, New Mexico, does indeed have a flag. It uses the triangular logo on a white field.

This flag shows a version of the triangle logo with some significant differences: Unlike on the logo, the lettering on the flag is in thin wide set sans serif yet stroke-variable capitals; the image also shows color shade differences in the wagon wheelset, clearly red, and on the shades of the ground and of the walls, shown almost white.

There had been discussions about changing this logo (and, one presumes, the flag bearing it) since at least mid 2017, but the new logo aired back then, with stylized mountain and sun, was seemingly not picked up:
