Carlson, who also created the Expo '74 mobius strip symbol, the flag is a twin of one presented to Sokane's Sister City, Nishinomiya, Japan, last May. The banner will replace the 19-year-old lavendar "Lilac City" flag.

CAPTION FROM JUNE 20, 1975: Spokane's official city flag, which Mayor David H. Rodgers wants redesigned, is shown by Lory Seibold, employee at city hall. The mayor said he isn't impressed with this flag, that it isn't suitable for Spokane's new status as an All-America City. He asked for proposals for a new city banner. This flag is lilac colored.

Caption from The Spokesman-Review that ran on Nov. 7, 1958: This shot was taken minutes after Col. Louis W. Ford (left), team captain for the westan air defense rocket team from Larson air force base, scored a direct hit on a drone target during all-air force fighter-interceptor competition at Tyndall air force base, Fla. A group of Spokane civic leaders and military men witnessed part of the competition. Shown with Colonel Ford are Donald L. Lussier, Spokane commissioner of public safety (center), and S. Luther Essick, Spokaen business man. The flag they hold bears signatures of Inland Empire personalities.
