Did You Know: The City Flag Share

Dec 18, 2024  |  Web Administrator

Did you know that that Mar­i­on has a city flag? You might’ve seen it fly­ing at dif­fer­ent loca­tions like Afe­na Cred­it Union, Mar­i­on Cycle Works, the Fire Sta­tions, Mar­i­on Util­i­ties, inside the Mar­i­on Pub­lic Library, and Box Express to name a few places. 

Wal­mart just picked up their new city flag today to refresh their flag­pole at the Mar­i­on store for the new year.

If you’re inter­est­ed in fly­ing a city flag to show your home­town spir­it — no mat­ter where you live — they are acces­si­ble local­ly at Collins Flags. They make a great Christ­mas gift, too, and you don’t have to wait for it to arrive in the mail.

Just call Collins Flags at 800.950.4061, or stop by at 1301 S. Bald­win Ave., Mar­i­on, IN. They are open Mon­day through Fri­day, 8:30am to 5pm. The city flag comes in a stan­dard 2×3 or one size up at 3×5 feet. If you’re not sure which size to get, Collins will work with you and make the best sug­ges­tion for your flag­pole or space.


About the city flag:

The Mar­i­on flag dis­plays the City of Mar­i­on​“M” mark, cre­at­ed by stu­dents and vol­un­teers of Mar­i­on Design Co. in col­lab­o­ra­ting with citizens.

The Mar­i­on M’ comes from the repeat­ing pat­terns with­in our many blocks and streets of busi­ness­es, homes, and great orga­ni­za­tions. The cen­ter of the M’ is pro­por­tion­al to the cen­ter square where the Grant Coun­ty Court House sits.” – Mar­i­on Design Co.

The blocks rep­re­sent the many stories…from painful to triumphant…from all walks of life, com­ing togeth­er. The M” is tilt­ed on a 45-degree angle from the Mar­i­on grid as it sits today, allow­ing the M” to move for­ward into the future.

The col­ors include a spec­trum of sooth­ing and calm­ing blues rep­re­sent­ing trust and respon­si­bil­i­ty; teal rep­re­sent­ing clar­i­ty, growth, and spir­it; com­fort­ably rest­ing on a white back­ground which sym­bol­izes puri­ty, peace, and refresh­ing new ideas.
