Description of the flag

Duncanville seems to have a new flag this year. I'm guessing "City of Champions" appears vertically at the left. I'm happy the town is no longer using the 1984 LA Olympic logo.

In the late '70s, the Chamber of Commerce recognized a need for a flag, deciding to use the municipal logo as the center of its design and to divide the flag diagonally in red and blue, the high school colors.

Former logo

According to NAVA News v. 14 no. 3, a logo of Duncanville was adopted after a group of builders and developers worked with the Chamber of Commerce in the early '70s to start a program to advertise the city. This was in order to attract business and home buyers. At a committee meeting, a circular logo which included a home, church, school, flags associated with Texas, and the words "DUNCANVILLE, TEXAS" and "SO NICE TO COME HOME TO". A leader of the group was Earl Mizell, with the group a few years later, being reorganized then known as the Whitehead Committee. This logo was then redesigned by Ray Shaver of Texas Power and Light Company in 1974.

A Bicentennial Committee was soon formed. Also with Mizell as a leader, they used this logo as the basis for the city's Bicentennial logo. The design was changed again. The American eagle and its shield were placed at the top portion symbolizing the United States. Home, business, industry, a church, four flags over Texas (commonly known as six, though here excluding America and the royal standard of France) were depicted in the lower half. In the upper part of the ring in the logo was the city name, "DUNCANVILLE, TEXAS". In the lower part was the words "A BICENTENNIAL CITY". This changed, however, a few years after the Bicentennial, when it became "A CITY OF CHAMPIONS" in recognition of the fact that Duncanville High School had won two successive state high school baseball championships, as well as its marching band which had won many.
