THE DETROIT RISE
MISSION
Design podcaster Roman Mars did a TED Talk on the unfortunate fact that there’s a “scourge of bad U.S. city flags and they must be stopped.” He dared people to go out to see if their city had a flag, if it’s any good, and to change it if it wasn’t. So I did.
IDEA
As a Detroit native, born and raised, and as a designer, I couldn’t help but take this challenge on. With research into the history and present stature of Detroit, its current flag, and the pride of citizens, I designed a new flag that certainly resonates with today’s community and definitely captures Detroit’s identity as the comeback champion city of the world.
