Description of the flag

Branson is a city in Stone and Taney counties in the U.S. state of Missouri. It was named for Rueben Branson, postmaster and operator of a general store in the area in the 1880s. Branson is a popular destination for vacationers from Missouri and the surrounding states. The population was 6,050 at the 2000 census. The Branson Micropolitan Statistical Area embraces Stone and Taney counties."

As is typical with town flags, Branson's was a community project. In 1999, the town's city manager, John Pinch, decided it was time the town have a logo. Jerry Adams, the city's spokesman, helped organize a committee that chose among citizen-submitted designs, tweaking and combining them to create the final. The goal: represent Branson's land, lakes and musical surroundings. The star symbolizes the stars of Branson's shows.

I can confirm both flags are used. When I was in Branson in September 2020, the logo flag was used at a central monument near the city and the old/city seal flag was used at a fire department station near the main entertainment center of the city.
