The City of Boca Raton is redesigning its official flag and is seeking community input to select from seven options.
The flag redesign was proposed by the Boca Raton City Council, which aims to incorporate a design that “represents our community’s heritage, values, and identity,” per a press release. Residents have until April 16 to vote for the new design, which will be unveiled as part of the city’s centennial celebration.
The proposed designs were created by the North American Vexillological Association (NAVA), a flag design organization that has guided the redesigning of hundreds of United States cities. Per the NAVA website, the principles that guide its designs are: keep it simple, use meaningful symbolism, use two or three basic colors, no lettering or seals, be distinctive or be related.
The flag will, however, maintain its seal, which dates back to 1950.

This design is inspired by the iconic roof tiles developed by Addison Mizner
