A partial view of the Bisbee flag shows that it contains the city logo, but there is some lettering, too. Here is photo, and logo.
By viewing the YouTube video source of the photo on the FOTW page, I was able
to draw this flag.

According to the Douglas Dispatch, the previous flag of Bisbee was unveiled
on July 4, 1970. The idea of a city flag was proposed by the Beautification
Committee of the city. The art department of Cochise College appears to have
judged designs in a contest where students of Bisbee could enter.
The
winning design was submitted by Ernestine Chavez, at the time 11 year old
student at Horace Mann School. The design had a blazing orange sun symbol rimmed
in yellow, signifying Bisbee's agreeable climate, on a field of turquoise for
copper ore. Three figures are on the sunburst: a mine chart, a mountain, and a
yucca plant with yellow blossoms and a turquoise base. Among these figures is
the former city motto in black letters, "City of Sunshine, Bisbee, Arizona".
