Brunswick Code of Ordinances §204.02:
(a) The Brunswick City flag shall have the proportions of three to five feet. It shall have a white field on which is centrally placed the logo of the City to which brown capital letters spelling "BRUNSWICK", with a silhouette of branches of a large shade tree, also brown, issuing from the letter "I". Centered beneath the name of the City shall appear, in brown capital letters, the word "OHIO". The letters shall be one ninth the flag's hoist in height except for the letter "I" in Brunswick, for which the overall size of the branches shall be five-ninths of the hoist of the flag in height and one-fifth of the fly of the flag in width.
(b) A green border one-sixteenth of the hoist in width shall surround the brown logo forming a rectangle with rounded corners except for the part around the tree where it conforms to the contour of the tree's silhouette. The space between the brown logo and the green border is one thirty-second of the flag's hoist.
(c) The brown letters suggest the original meaning of the name Brunswick in German dialect, Brunswic(Brunswig) or Brown Market. The name evolved in modern German to "Braunschweig", a former duchy in central Germany. Brown also recalls the fertile earth which was farmed by the original settlers in the Brunswick area. The green border surrounding the name of the City and the prominent tree, show that Brunswick is a city of many green trees, parks and lots that are the pride of the City's homeowners. White is the color of hope and is indicative of the City's faith in its future to grow and prosper.
(Res. 96-87. Passed 10-26-87.)
(d) The design of the official logo of the City of Brunswick, as updated pursuant to Resolution No. 76-00, is hereby officially adopted as the symbol of the Brunswick City Flag. (Res. 78-2024. Passed 10-14-24.)
