Lincoln, Nebraska Flag
🏴 3' x 5' new Lincoln, Nebraska flag with grommets and double stitched edges to reduce fraying.
✍️ The Design: Inspired by the art deco architecture and native peoples’ artwork displayed inside the capitol building, this flag uses simple lines to convey Lincoln’s past and it’s progressive future by alluding to the interconnection of technology, agriculture and commerce. Whether you’re a lifelong Lincolnite or recent refugee in our town, there is hope and optimism here. These values are visually represented by the radiating, concentric artwork symbolizing a “beacon” or safe harbor for those looking to better their lives. Some of the recognizable imagery implied by the lines are: the state Capitol building, a sunset, and an aerial view of the traditional center of town (13th and O streets). The colors are based on the Nebraska state flag. The yellow was modified to look closer to gold and the blue was shifted to teal by adding a green hue as a tip of the hat to the verdant tapestry in Lincoln which is home of the Arbor Day Foundation and many city parks. The winning design out of four finalists designed by Ed Mejia.
See the Size Guide video below to see Michael explain every size we offer.
🧵 Single Sided Flags are durable 200D polyester (most flags you'll find on the internet are cheap ~75D) with two grommets on the hoist edge. In our testing, we selected 200D as the perfect flag material; anything heavier doesn't fly well and the "back" doesn't get enough ink, anything lighter feels cheap and wont last very long.
🧵 Double Sided Flags are three layers, two art layers sandwiching a blackout fabric in between complete with two grommets on the hoist edge. These flags are heavier than the single sided and take more wind to get going. Perfect for flag pole display.
Each flag is folded by hand on our dining room table and ready to be used on a flag pole, boat, hung on a wall, or to proudly march with.
Created in the most Earth-conscious way we can. We use home-compostable and discreet shipping bags.
