National Capitalist Party (NCP) was founded in February 2008 by many members of the Christian Falangist Party of America (CFPA), led by Patricio Cortes Bridges, a.k.a. Pat Bridges, founder and longtime National Director of the CFPA. The new party was meant to be the secular replacement of the old one, while most of the party goals remained the same. The NCP clearly did not have much success, because Bridges and part of his followers went to refound the CFPA as the Christian Phalange in 2010, leaving the NCP to exist only via its website until late 2011, although the two organizations might have been originally intended to co-operate, for some of the NCP logos have been appearing at the Christian Phalange website since it was created. The NCP had previously tried to found a same-named Cuban party in exile, which seems to have died out even before its model.

The main party flag has had three versions, with the field either in red, or white, or blue, and was charged with the main party logo in center. The logo was a white disc with red border, charged with the US military aircraft marking in center, as used from May 1942 to June 1943 (blue disc charged with a white star), and with eight white arrows emerging from the ring and pointing towards the central roundel; the ring was charged with the inscription NATIONAL CAPITALIST PARTY of AMERICA, which might have been the official party name, although the territorial designation seems to have been rarely used, even in the logos. The roundel in center was meant to represent America herself, red border symbolized the blood shed in its defence, the arrows symbolized the cardinal and ordinal directions and therefore the unity of the country, while the complete red shape - ring with the arrows - was also meant to represent a wheel, symbolizing the progress and the Capitalism. On the flags with red or blue fields, the logo was surrounded with an additional white border.

Alternate party flag was a red-white-blue horizontal triband, with white field wider than the other two and charged with one of alternate party logos, which consisted of large oblique letters NCP, letters N
and P in red and letter C in blue; letter C was enclosing an oblique blue five-pointed star. The typeface was almost identical to Bank Gothic in bold oblique form.
Other logos, including a red-blue rhinoceros charged with three stars or letters NCP in white, clearly designed to resemble the Democratic donkey and Republican elephant, seem not to have been used on the flags. All these flags and logos might have been designed by party leader Pat Bridges, as seems to have been the case with those of his earlier and later political organizations.
