The flag of Indianapolis has a dark blue field with a white five-pointed star pointing upwards in the center. Around the star is a circular field in red. Surrounding the red field is a white ring, from which extend four white stripes from top to bottom and from hoist to fly, thus creating four equal quadrants in the field. The stripes are about one-seventh the width of the flag, with the white ring the same width as the stripes. The diameter of the red circle is about two-ninths the width of the flag.[1]
The flag design was adopted by the City of Indianapolis on May 20, 1963.[1] The flag was first raised from the City-County Building on November 7, 1963. It was designed by John Herron Art Institute student Roger E. Gohl.[2]
