Quoting "Pine Bluff Commercial", 17 March 2008:
"[...] Aldermen will also consider adopting a new flag for the city, replacing a dated logo that is expensive to purchase, according to Greg Gustek, executive director of the city's Image Campaign committee. The current flag, which flies now above Saracen Landing along Lake Saracen and hangs inside the City Council Chambers, has red and blue triangles framing a blue river and a green pine tree. The new design display an anchor and refers to Pine Bluff as the "Harbor City, the anchor of Southeast Arkansas. [...]

Quoting "Pine Bluff Commercial", 18 March 2008:
Also Monday, sponsors of a proposal for a new city flag and logo pulled their resolution before the full council could vote on it. Instead, they said, it will be discussed in the council's Public Works committee before being officially considered.

"They felt like more input should be put into it rather than two or three people making the decision (for the city)," said Fourth Ward Alderman George Stepps, one of the three sponsors. Proponents of the new flag and logo - which refers to Pine Bluff as the "Harbor City, the anchor of Southeast Arkansas" - attempted to keep the details of it sparse, saying they wanted to get it through the council with minimal fanfare so that they could make a big unveiling of the design at a later date. Greg Gustek, executive director of the Pine Bluff Image Campaign Committee, went individually to the three aldermen on the council's administrative committee, seeking their sponsorship of the resolution - circumventing the need for the committee to meet and discuss it publicly. Mayor Carl A. Redus Jr. said after the council meeting that the proposal for a new city flag and logo took him by surprise. "I haven't had a chance to look at it," he said. "When we change something like that ... the citizens should have some input." He also said there was confusion about what logo the new one would replace.

Some council members remember a slogan oft-used that said "Pine Bluff loves people". And a seal in the City Council Chambers refers to Pine Bluff as "the city of progress," while some business cards and other city objects refer use a "Positive Pine Bluff" slogan.

UA-Pine Bluff: http://www.thecollegehour.com/thecollegehour/images/UAPB_Front_Flags.jpg shows the University seal in full color on a black and gold bi-color. There is text below the seal but I cannot ascertain what it says.
