I have found two flags for the city of Gahanna, Ohio. The first one is a
white star superimposed on a striped star on another striped star on a navy blue
background. The other flag is just a color version of the seal on a white
bedsheet. The only one I've seen actually used by the city government is the
blue one.

Chapter 103.02 of the Gahnanna City Code - OFFICIAL CITY FLAG.
(a) There
is hereby adopted an official City flag of the City of Gahanna.
(b) The flag
of the City is blue with three white stars. The three stars are from the
official corporate seal and have been integrated into one representing "Three in
One".
(Ord. 26-84. Passed 3-20-84.)
A local vexillologist named John
Spinelli made a presentation to the city council about changing its flag, as can
be seen in the council meeting minutes of June 10, 2024. In his presentation,
Spinelli says that the Gahanna Foundation is willing to create a city flag at no
cost. The head of The Flag Lady, Lori Watson, is also present, supporting
Spinelli and assuring that she is happy to help develop a new city flag. It
appears so far, no action has been taken however.
After receiving records
from the city clerk, Spinelli provided some information regarding this flag,
mentioning that the flag was adopted under the term of mayor Jim McGregor. The
flag was designed by the mayor's secretary at the time, John Breen, with the
help of other individuals. The adoption of a Gahanna flag was caused by a
request from Mayor Dana G. Rinehart of Columbus, who asked surrounding cities to
send their city flags to display at the Columbus City Council Building.

Sadly, I'm not sure about the white flag with the city emblem. Could it
be that the city is using two flags?
