West Lafayette, Indiana Concept

The gold and white touching is not ideal, as the gold is quite bright. Could you maybe invert the blue and white in the flower design?

Elements:

• The red field field and yellow bar is based on the crest shield of Marquies du Lafayette, for which both Lafayette, and West Lafayette are named.
• The 6 pointed “star” in the middle is comprised of 3 blue elements, representing the three villages that combined to form West Lafayette (Kingston, Chauncey, and Oakwood).
• The 3 white elements to the “star” represent the unknown elements of the past, the unrecognized present contributions, and the possibility to grow to be a better place in the future.
• The blue bar at the tip represents the Wabash river, that forms the Eastern border with Lafayette. When displayed vertically, it also emphasizes the Wabash river runs along the southern border of the city.

Goals in the redesign, West Lafayette’s current flag: current flag:

• I wanted to keep the 3 communities coming together as one
• End up with elements that might be suited to being on a t-shirt, such that it would be more likely to be seen/used.
