A. City Flag: The Ogden Flag design consists of three horizontal stripes with a circle in the center. The top and bottom stripes are aqua blue, the same color found in the 2016 Ogden City Brand Style Guide (hex code 00acd4), with a white middle stripe. The circle is broken up into two pieces, top and bottom, with the top half of the circle shaped to appear as the sky behind three mountain peaks, which are part of the white stripe passing through the circle. The center peak is taller than the two on each side, which are the same height. The bottom half of the circle has a small peak in the middle that breaks up the white stripe a third of the way into the circle. The color of the circle is navy blue matching the 2016 Ogden City Brand Style Guide (hex code: 003469).
As defined by the artist, the focal point of this design centers on an iconic white mountain range that symbolizes the snowy Wasatch Mountains loved by Ogden residents. This three-peak mountain range is set in a dark blue circle that creates a high-contrast image to draw the eye into the design. A dark blue triangle is centered below the tallest peak. This represents the individual or the family that is here in Ogden. The dark blue circle creates the letter "O" for "Ogden." Symbolically an "O" resembles community, connection, or a collection of people. The mountain range breaking outside the "O" signifies the welcoming and inclusive nature of the people that live in Ogden and the culture of tourism. The colors match the color scheme of the brand identity for Ogden. Blue in flag design can represent freedom and determination, with the white symbolizing a sense of peace and harmony.
