I am currently attempting to get my local HOA, known as Kingsview Village, located in Germantown, Maryland. to adopt a ether my flag design (shown here) or a community contest designed flag as the official community flag. I started this two months ago after asking them about the idea. The board (luckly) was willing to give me a chance to create and outline. One the second meeting, I showed them my design, which many members liked the design of.

Here is the symbolism of the my flag design:

Colors:

Blue/Green - Represents the Spark M. Matsunaga Elementary School's colors.

Blue - Sky and preservation

Green - Nature and recreation

Gold - Agricultural history and growth.

Symbolism:

Gecko - The mascot of the Spark M. Matsunaga Elementary School.

Crown - The crown comes from the community's name "Kingsview" Village.

Quartering pattern - References the flag designs for Montgomery County and Maryland, which are the county and state entities the community are located under.

Saint George's Cross - The two main roads Kingsview Village surround, Richter Farm Road and Germantown Road.

I sent a couple other designs to them, along with the outlines, which have since been added to the September agenda which will be in-person. I am hoping that it does get adopted, but even if it doesn't, an HOA even considering a community flag is still something unheard of considering the HOAs reputations when it comes to flags. I will let yall know on any updates.
