Huntington’s flag has a white field and proportions of 4 by
7 units. HUNTINGTON runs across the field horizontally for about
5.5 units, 1.5 units below the top edge. The initial letter “H” is composed
of four interlocking rectangles outlined in yellow, twice the size
of the remaining letters, which are black. These letters appear to be on
a white strip overlaid on a blue circular gear 2 units in diameter, with 7
teeth visible above and 7 below the letters. Above the “TO” in HUNTINGTON
is 1871, in black, about half the height of the other letters.
Immediately below the city’s name, on the hoist side of the gear, is
WEST, and on the fly side, VIRGINIA, in black letters the same height
as the date. Centered below the lower edge of the gear is another, smaller
blue gear, about .75 units in diameter, with 9 teeth, which appears to
intermesh with the larger gear above. The smaller gear is encircled with
a narrow white space from which extends, on either side, a shape resembling
wings made up of red, white, and blue horizontal stripes, top to
bottom. From tip to tip across the entire figure, the red stripe extends
about 3 units; the white stripe, about 2.5 units, and the blue stripe,
2.25 units. Below that figure, about .5 units from the bottom edge of
the flag, is GEARED FOR PROGRESS, centered in black letters the
same height as the name of the state above.
