Description of the flag

The city's flag is horizontally divided orange over blue by a widening white curve. In the lower blue field is the city name and motto; in the upper hoist is the city seal
Ron Lahav, 7 January 2005

I can only add that the said motto is "The International City", composed in italic sans-serif capitals, while the wording "City of Long Beach" is set in regular sans-serif capitals, larger than those used in the motto; both inscriptions in white letters. The seal shows on a golden yellow background a scallop shell contour onto which a local landscape scene is depicted.
The seal as depicted on the flag lacks the outer lettered rim, unlike at www.ci.long-beach.ca.us/, www.ci.long-beach.ca.us/img/branding/brand_default.gif, or secure2.longbeach.gov/secureimages/cityseal/150-x-150-pix-city-seal-rev.jpg (all these are authoritative depictions in official sites.) Additionally, the seal on the flag is separated by thin white edging.

Long Beach: Green Port

image located by Valentin Poposki, 13 July 2006

The Green Flag of the Port of Long Beach for Environmental Achievement in 2005 is found at www.polb.com/news/displaynews.asp?NewsID=43 or www.oocl.com/cn/press/2006/30March2006(2).htm. The program provides financial incentives and recognition to the Port's vessel operators who participate consistently in a voluntary speed-reduction program designed to reduce air pollution.
