Modification of Brian Stokle's redesigned San Francisco city flag. Modified from example taken on this blog: https://urbanlifesigns.blogspot.com/2019/12/the-fog-gold-flag-for-san-francisco.html?fbclid=IwAR1fTWvWfFnhq_NHrMiBuBddqfp6MBG4xPW-_00EowesB2O8sZMb5P2aGpA
Essentially: Make the phoenix black again, but have the diversity flag colors as highlights on the feathers alternating. Bring back the motto from the original flag design black (or maybe the fog gray?) with gold letters.
I think the city motto is particularly valuable because it represents three major aspects of the city's history: 1. The military and war aspects, From the founding of the Presidio in 1776 to the many forts, Treasure Island being the launching ground for Pacific operations in WW2, etc. 2. The gold. First literally, then as a financial center with the founding of banks like Bank of America and Wells Fargo, even up to today with the booms of the tech industry. 3. The Spanish and Mexican beginnings are represented with the words in Spanish.
