The flag of Durham, North Carolina was adopted in 1989 as part of a city-wide contest, won by artist Al Nichols. The flag is evenly divided into two halves; the half on the side of the hoist features two vertical, evenly divided bars of red and gold, and the second half features a blue field with seven stars. The logo of the City of Durham is based on the flag.
