Hamilton County Flag Unveiled on Flag Day
Hamilton County raised its new flag at an event on Flag Day this past Friday.
The event was held on the Courthouse steps and included a brief ceremony and the
raising of the new Hamilton County flag by County Commissioners. The County is
also displaying the other entries received, many of which came from local
children, in the lobby of the County Administration Building (138 E. Court
Street).
The County flag design was selected from 95 entries from local artists and
students. The flag development process was a partnership between Hamilton County
and ArtWorks, a local non-profit that provides training and opportunities in the
arts for local youth. ArtWorks sought entries from local schools, the general
public and its own network of local artists. A panel consisting of County
officials, citizens, and ArtWorks staff helped select three finalists and the
final design. The design was created by Justin Green of Oakley. The flag
features a red "H", trimmed in green symbolizing Hamilton County. The H is
encircled by an "O" representative of Ohio. Hamilton County's 12 townships are
symbolized by the curves of the circular motif. The flag includes 37 stars
representing the 21 cities and 16 villages of Hamilton County.
The County Flag will be displayed at County facilities and will be displayed
along with other County flags at the state capital as part of the State's
Bicentennial celebration.
