The unincorporated community of Sun City, Arizona has a different flag now. It seems that it was unveiled on 31.03.2025.
"Flying sixty feet high over Grand and 107th avenues is a first for Sun City – an official community flag.
Three prominent flag poles have long been a symbol welcoming residents and guests near the original Sun City site, where thousands gathered to purchase homes captured in an iconic Jan. 1, 1960 photo in the same area.
In the middle of 107th Avenue flies the largest, an America flag 10 feet by 14 feet long, with the Arizona flag to the south and the new Sun City flag to the north – both 6 feet by 9 feet long.
Historically, the representation of the ‘Sun City’ flag has changed over the years from an original Sunburst logo of the Del Webb Corporation, to other flags featuring logos specific to just one among many community organizations. Responsibility for caring for the flags has also been up in the air, so to speak, with the Sun City PRIDES taking the lead on raising and lowering it in the 1980s, and the Recreation Centers of Sun City taking on the role in later years.
Thanks to a coalition of Sun City leaders, a Sun City flag representing the entire community has finally found its place in the spotlight, with the PRIDES once again taking stewardship of the care of all three flags.
“The new Sun City flag is designed to capture the spirit of our community, featuring the original Sunburst logo and retro style font, in cheerful colors that celebrate Sun City as the ‘City of Volunteers’. The flag is inclusive of our entire community and the organizations that come together to make Sun City such a unique and special place,” said Lisa Gray, General Manager for the Sun City Home Owners Association (SCHOA).
In addition to SCHOA and the PRIDES, the coalition of those involved in this venture also include the SCHOA Foundation, Sun City Posse, and the Condo Owners Association. All five organizations worked to create this flag and have committed to helping to finance the flags as they retire, and new flags are needed. This is truly a team collaboration."

The logo was designed in 2014 by Catapult Strategic Design. Today though, the old logo is still seen on signs throughout the place.

Apparently Sun City did have another flag, which used the old logo. Based on the August 29, 1990 issue of the Arizona Republic, the proportions of the former flag of Sun City were 4:5. It was described as having a gold-colored sunburst along with the community's logo. Keep in mind though that this article is in reference to a Sun City flag being stolen, (expensively) valued at $300. Quite odd that people would steal flags of communities, but either way, this did present an opportunity for information. A bit unfortunately though, I am unsure of when this flag was adopted

The flag of Sun City uses the city logo on a white background.
I was able
to find a photograph of a flying flag via Google Maps after reading a letter to
a newspaper in which a resident complained of the faded city flag flown on one
of three tall flagpoles at the intersection of 107th Avenue and Grand Avenue.
