The current flag of Dallas , Texas , was adopted February 13, 1967. [1] The flag was designed by E. L. Gilchrist.
Design
It is bisected horizontally by a thin white line (a fimbriation , approximately 1/27th of the flag's height) with a dark red top and a dark blue bottom. A large, white 5-pointed star (approximately 14/15 ths of the flag's height) dominates the flag and contains the city seal in buff and black. [2]
Historical flags
The flag in use between 1916 and 1967 (though it was not actually produced until 1954) was a non-rectangular flag (similar to the flag of Ohio ) colored blue, but unlike the current flag, there is no fimbriation. The center of the flag contains the state of Texas in white with a star and the name "Dallas" marking the city's position in the state. [3]
