Description of the flag

Allen County has adopted a new flag: https://www.21alivenews.com/2025/04/01/new-allen-county-flag-revealed/

The county has been celebrating its bicentennial birthday since this time last year. As part of the closing ceremony for the celebration on Tuesday, the flag was revealed. Previously, the county did not have an official flag.
In January last year, commissioners asked for flag design submissions. In October, residents voted on the eight finalists. The commissioners are expected to approve the flag during the board’s meeting on Friday.

Here's what I wrote for NAVA's Vexillum.

Because Allen County has never had an official flag, the Bicentennial Executive Board decided to hold a competitive flag contest from January through March 2024. Of the 300 designs received, 20 were chosen by a Flag Council, and a top 10 were examined by a team of 3 graphic designers who also considered elements from other designs that they believed were graphically strong. Finally, 8 flags, some of which combined elements of several top 10 designs, were presented to the public for feedback via an online survey in October 2024.

On April 1, 2025, the final day of Allen County’s bicentennial celebration, the winning flag was revealed. The flag is expected to be approved by County Board Commissioners on April 4. The flag was described as follows in the October survey:

“The field of dark blue relates this flag to that of the State of Indiana and the City of Fort Wayne. The pall (flag term for the “Y” shape) is an element used in both the Fort Wayne and New Haven flags. The 20 stars represent the 20 townships. The emblem in the middle is taken from the county seal, which depicts the three rivers, fields, forests, and the courthouse.”
