Description of the flag

The flag of Aberdeen, Maryland, is on the far right of the link sent by Paul Bassinson. The flag features the city seal centered on a white field. The green circular seal, outlined with a gold ring, has a coat of arms at its center. On a red shield are several scenes of the local area, including a tank and a helicopter, representing the U.S. Army's Aberdeen Proving Grounds. The shield is topped by a bald eagle's head with the year of the city's founding – 1892 – on a gold banner beneath the shield. In the green of the seal are the words "TRANSPORTATION" and "TECHNOLOGY" in black capital letters. Arched above the seal is the word "ABERDEEN" with "MARYLAND" below the seal, both in black capital letters.

A big photo from 2015 shows a version of the flag that differs slightly from the one above in having a duller green and a black ring around the seal's outer text.

However, a recent photo shows that the flag in the City Council Chamber is the flag at the top of this page.

In the link below, at 0:01, you’ll see a flag of Aberdeen, Maryland, that’s different than the one at the top of this page, possibly a previous version of the flag [or a logo flag?]. This video comes from what looks like an unofficial channel of the city of Aberdeen, Maryland, and is dated August 6, 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44CgzxD1qX4

The city council minutes from January 31, 2011, show that the logo flag uses a logo that was officially adopted.

The logo flag is flown from City Hall, as shown by the first photo that appears on the city's website:
