Description of the Flag

The NAVA image at http://www.nava.org/Flag%20Design/City%20Survey%202004/city_flag_photos/Hialeah.jpg and shown in the American Flag Survey (2004) and American City Flags (Purcell, 2003) is a white cloth with the city seal very small (diameter only slightly greater than 1/3rd of the flag height) on its center with Large lettering reading "City of Hialeah" arched above it and "Florida" at the bottom of the flag, both set in bold condensed sans-serif Old Glory blue capitals. At http://en.wikivisual.com/images/e/ea/HialeahSeal.PNG there is a medium-sized image of the seal.

In http://www.hialeahfl.gov/multimedia/Intro.swf a slideshow at the official website, both the flag and the seal can be seen on actual, official use; the lettering is apparently not exactly like as shown in American Flag Survey (2004) and American City Flags. In http://www.hialeahfl.gov/images/photos/photo_Main02.jpg a photo at the main page of the official website, details are hardly visible but it further proves its actual use and recognition at an official level (and it is a nice flag photo, with the US national flag caught on a mosaic background patterned after itself). Yet another photo at http://www.hialeahfl.gov/media/gallery/images/mayor/CouncilSwearingIn11-26-2007/9.jpg shows a white flag with the seal very large centered on it, no lettering; this photo shows the 2007 swearing in of the new Council members supposedly taken in the City Hall, and is as official as it gets.
It seems that both flags are used officially.

The flag also appears without the name of the city above the seal and the state below it.
