Earlier this morning while doing some research
online, I stumbled across another seemingly random flag - the flag of
the city of Vladivostok, Russia. I checked with the Yahoo Groups
archive and saw no postings about the finalization of the city flag, so
I submit to you the following.
We have a page for the proposals for the Vladivostok city
flag. As of January
2012, there had still been no vote to determine the final, official flag
design. According to a
Russian-language news article online
that I had Google try to translate for me, the city duma approved the
new flag for Vladivostok by 29 August 2012.
From what I can make out in the Google translation, city officials
received 87 flag design proposals, a large number of which were based on
the modified Russian naval jack (blue saltire fimbriated white on a red
field) that was traditionally used to represent the fortress of
Vladivostok. There were also requests for the city's coat of arms to be
returned to a previous iteration, showing a tiger on a hillside, with a
golden tower and crossed golden anchors behind the shield. The final,
officially approved version of the city flag is a combination of those
two ideas, showing the redesigned city coat of arms centered on the
modified naval jack.

news article's

Residents will decide which design will be the official flag of Vladivostok:
