Description: The new flag design for the city of Pocatello, Idaho, selected by the city of Pocatello, Idaho on July 20, 2017. According to the design committee, "Central to this design are the three mountain peaks most prominent to Pocatello—Scout Mountain, Kinport Peak, and Chinese Peak. In addition to representing the natural beauty of Pocatello, the peaks symbolize industry, recreation, and education. The compass rose is a directional emblem symbolizing Pocatello’s central role as a transportation and trade hub for rail, road, and air. In addition to its ties to transportation, the rose also points to our past, present, and future. The color gold represents the region’s agricultural ties and prosperity of the city. The lower white portion of the compass star is suggestive of the snowy peaks that frequent our mountain views. The form also creates an abstract arrowhead to acknowledge the area’s Native American history. The design conveys upward motion, signifying positive hope for the future. The blue symbolizes the sky and blue line near the bottom of the flag symbolizes the Portneuf River."
