The History of San Francisco's Flag
Read John Lumea's enlightening and thoroughly researched story, The Original San Francisco Flag Was Better and Cooler. It's a deep dive into the design evolution of the San Francisco flag from its adoption in 1900 to today's flag.

I designed the new flag with the phoenix and flames based on the original 1900-1930 flag, while updating it by removing text, a torse and adding new colors representing the city's fog, Gold Rush beginnings and proud Golden Gate international orange, all while removing text from the previous versions.

Look back at earlier campaigns to change the flag.
Roman Mars helped us all relook at our City flags. Others before the Fog & Gold Flag have tried to give us a new flag.
