The flag of Richmond, Virginia was adopted in 1993. The flag contains a navy blue field in the upper two-thirds quadrant with two red and two white stripes beneath in the lower third of the flag. It features a silhouette of a person working a James River bateau down the James River.

A city committee headed by Second District Councilman Benjamin A. Warthen brought forth the design, which was based on a proposal submitted by Michael Davis, a committee member and graphics designer at Heilig-Meyers Co. The new Richmond flag was carried by bateau to the dedication ceremony on Brown's Island on November 24, 1993.[1]
