Flag Description

The website at www.ci.irvine.ca.us/depts shows a very modernistic emblem, part logo and part seal. Within a broadly circular structure the words 'CITY OF IRVINE' are written in bright green block letters shadowed in gray. A similarly colored semicircular arc forms the base of the emblem, with the date '1971' written in very small white numerals at its midpoint. The central image consists of a shield divided per pale by a large stylized lower case letter 'i', with a blue space between the stem of the letter and the dot. To the right of this pale is a stylized family group in white on blue, while to the left of it is a similarly stylized outline in white of a tree, also on blue.

Actually, Irvine has a flag. I should know, I went to high school there. It's a white flag with the city seal, dating from 1971. The seal is buried fairly deep down in their website - see www.ci.irvine.ca.us/depts/default.asp .
