The image features a sunrise over the Blue Mountains in the background with cropland and a water pump windmill in the foreground, rangeland and forest in the mid-ground, above “Umatilla County, est. 1862” on a white field with gold braid around the borders.

“Most municipalities in the county and most counties in the state have flags,” Board Chair Dan Dorran said, “The courthouse flagpole has only the U.S. and Oregon flags.”

The board of commissioners approved the new design at its meeting Wednesday, Jan. 18. Dorran said the county’s prototype indoor flag cost $200 and decals of the new design for county vehicles run $95 each. The program has cost $5,000 so far. “Those to fly from flagpoles will cost more,” he said.

“The county has never officially established a flag or logo,” board Chair Dan Dorran said. “We’ve used designs similar to (Wildhorse Resort & Casino’s), the clock tower, club wheat heads and all different departments. When departments ask why not use a single county logo, the answer is, we don’t have one.” The county in February 2022 established an internal Branding and Logo Committee. Brian Blake, husband of Jennifer Blake, human resources director, created the concept, which the committee fine tuned.
