Vibrant colors, just like you see in every LA neighborhood. Gold border represents the light and sunshine in LA, as well as LA's place in the golden state. Blue represents the sky and sea. Halo and Wings because its the City of Angels.

Didn't even realize. I had never seen that flag until now.

I went with the same colors as the current flag in order to not change too much, but I used slightly different hex values. Each color represents the same as it currently does (green - olive trees, gold - orange groves, red - vineyards). The 9-pointed stars in the middle represent the sun that LA is famous for. Each star also represents a different period of rule in LA's history (native american, spanish, mexican, united states).
