Flag of NAVA

The flag of NAVA or the North American Vexillological Association

Since 2015, hundreds of American cities and towns have adopted new or redesigned flags to represent their communities.  It is heartening to see this interest in flags.

In late 2022, NAVA asked its members and the public to rate the designs of 312 known flags (there are likely many more).  From September 1 to November 30, 2,852 people participated in the online survey: 308 NAVA members and 2,544 public participants.

They rated the design of each flag using a low-to-high scale of 0–10.  The numerical ratings for each flag were averaged and the average rating was converted to a letter grade, with grades ranging from F (lowest) to A+ (highest).

25 Highest-Rated New City Flags (A Grade) (46 flags received A grades)[]

25 Lowest-Rated New City Flags (F Grade) (143 flags received F grades)[]
