Easley' New Standard
How the Flag was Designed…
In May of 2009 the City held a contest to develop a city flag. Over three dozen designs were submitted. While the choice was difficult the city selected Ellie Youngs design. The New Easley City Flag Designed by Ellie Youngs, 2009 Graduate of Easley High School.
The only requirement of the contest was that the City Seal be incorporated into
the flag design. Ellie stated that she “just messed around with a few designs and tried some things out, and this one seemed the best way to incorporate the seal into a flag while keeping it somewhat simple.” Mayor Bagwell stated that “this is the first flag for the city and Eliie will go down in Easley’s history.” Ellie stated she plans to attend Anderson University and major in art. The flag will fly in the new park on Pendleton Street.
