The seal and flag in the city code (https://codelibrary.amlegal.com):
1.02.020 Description.

A. The image of the City Seal is described and shown below:

Around the top half of the margin of the Seal shall be the city’s name, with the lower half of the margin surrounded by the words, “A Beacon of Progress.”

The middle inner circle section of the Seal contains a flame, with orange and red zinnia flowers immediately behind the flame surrounding it on the lower portion of the inner circle. On the right side of the flame there is a gray oil derrick, and two black and white eagle feathers paying tribute to the region’s Native American tribes on the right of the flame. The Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island are represented in the background. The city’s year of incorporation, 1924, is located at the top of the seal below the city’s name.

The city flag is required to include the city seal.
1.02.200 City Flag.

A. The City of Signal Hill shall have an official flag to be known as "The Flag of the City of Signal Hill" which shall depict the City Seal.

The only image I've found of the new flag uses a celebratory version of the seal noting the centennial is in this photo (Emails to the city have been unanswered)

I've been told by Kimberly Bowles, Senior Deputy City Clerk, that the flag with the centennial celebration text will be flown during 2024.

The previous seal was designed in 1988 but did not become official until 2008. At least 2 different versions of the flag are used.
