Does Peachtree City need a flag?

Peachtree City has undertaken several marketing initiatives — including a new city logo and website — to promote the town with a more unified theme and look.

This week, the City Council will consider the creation of a city flag.

Though Peachtree City used to have a flag many years ago, the city has not flown a flag at City Hall for a decade or more, said Betsy Tyler, city spokeswoman.

Tyler said it was the city’s new logo — a colorful swoosh with two green leaves above the slogan “Peachtree City: Plan to Stay” — that prompted Mayor Harold Logsdon to propose a city flag. The flag, envisioned as the logo on a white background, would fly at City Hall plaza and be used as a backdrop at meetings, events and presentations.

As Peachtree City continues to mature, I think a city flag would help to unite citizens — new and old — around a common philosophy for our town.

Do you think Peachtree City should have its own flag? If so, what should it look like?
