Flag

Help us design a Village of Phoenix Flag!   The Village is thrilled to annouce we will be adopting an official Village flag!

The flag, once designed and approved, will be a symbol for the Village and it's people. As such, we highly value the input of residents in this process and are asking for your suggestions. The board will review the submissions, begin to form a theme and ultimately choose the final design through a consultation process and discussion with our team. You can do this in one of three ways. First, you can stop down to the Village Clerks office during normal business hours to pick up a form, fill it out and return it. Another way is to download the form from the link below, fill it out and drop it off at the clerks office. Finally, you can send an email to bborchik@villageofphoenix-ny.gov with the form attached or just put as much info in the email as you can. You can share whatever you like including a description, design or just a few words. We ask that all submissions be entered by October 16th.  

Some things to keep in mind. Flag designs are best kept relatively simple with color, design and shape. Though within those parameters creativity is welcome. A lot goes into the study, science and symbolism of flag design; so much so that there is actually a term to describe it, Vexillology.  Vexillology, by definition, is the study of the history, symbolism and usage of flags.  Let's have fun with this, and take pride in knowing you are joining in a process that will forever be part of our Village!
