Madison’s Flag is Top-Notch, Here’s Why

19 minutes

Happy Flag Day! The North American Vexillological Association studied 312 city flags and ranked Madison’s flag as one of the best in the nation. No wonder our city flag is increasing being flown all over town.

Ted Kaye, the nation’s foremost authority on flag design and author of the NAVA booklet “‘Good’ Flag, ‘Bad’ Flag,” talks with host Bianca Martin about what makes a well-designed flag, why Madison’s flag is so strong but our state flag … not so much.

Check out NAVA’s survey results to see which flags got an A grade, and which ones got an F.

Here’s Roman Mars’ 2015 TED Talk about “why city flags may be the worst-designed thing you've never noticed.”

And these apps will help you navigate the new Madison Metro bus network.
