Description of the Flag

The flag is a ~2:3 vertical tricolor of red, white and blue, with an emblem on the middle stripe. The emblem is roughly shield shaped, made from two white, thick-edged separate parts, top and bottom, joint by a gap filled with the word "Cleveland", set in a thin squarish sans-serif font. The upper half of the �shield� is edged in blue, its upper side with two pointy tips, and contains two symbols, also blue: in the �dexter� a cogwheel with something and in the �sinister� something else. The bottom part of the �shield�, with ogival tip, is edged in red and includes the date "1796" enclosed between two green (laurel) branches tied at their stems with a green ribbon. Bellow the �shield� black bold condensed sans-serif capitals reading the motto "Progress & Prosperity".

Variant Flags

Commonly we see incorrectly made flags with the only two colors (cheaper to make), showing the wreath in red and the lower motto in blue.
