The flag of Corpus Christi has a sky blue field with a white
seagull in full flight facing the fly. Surrounding the seagull are 8 evenlyspaced
large white five-pointed stars, about .25 unit highs on a field of
2 by 3 units; they form a circle of 1.8 units in diameter. The seagull fills
most of the field within the circle, but its wings extend a small distance
beyond the circle of stars, the left wing at 2 o’clock and the right wing at
7 o’clock.
