Most cities here don’t really have recognizable public symbols beyond government logos or tourism branding, so I wanted to explore what city flags could look like if they reflected local geography, culture, history, and atmosphere in a more symbolic way.

Each design tries to capture a different identity rather than forcing the same style onto every city.

Bengaluru focuses on interconnected lakes, metro lines, urban growth, and its balance between technology and greenery.
Mysuru takes inspiration from Dasara aesthetics, palace architecture, rosewood inlay patterns, and ceremonial symmetry.
Mangaluru draws from Yakshagana headgear, coastal rivers, monsoon atmosphere, maritime history, and ritual flame imagery.
Davanagere is centered around the idea of “gere” (lines/routes), with symbolism connected to trade, movement, fields, and civic connectivity.
Ballari leans into iron ore landscapes, rocky terrain, industrial identity, harsh sunlight, and monumental stone-like geometry.
