MIDDLETON, NS (Canada)
Design 1d
Blue Green Intersection Heart

This geographic Design 1d takes the Designs 1a, 1b, and 1c to their natural conclusion by replacing the town logo with a heart that the town uses in their town decorations like on street signs. The heart is simple, universal, adored (think I ❤ NY logo), and it’s not copyrighted. It’s also not on its side like the town logo that could be interpreted as lazy, knocked over, maybe even death. There aren’t a lot of flags with heart/s on them that are well designed. Middleton has a natural reason to put a heart in its flag design that looks beautiful without being tacky, so it should!

Constructive criticisms welcomed. Thank you.

REFERENCE
Middleton is a small town of just under 2000 people in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia, with its entire south side bordering the curves of the Annapolis River. Located half way between Halifax and the southern tip town of Yarmouth, if travelling through the Valley, the town was renamed Middleton in a vote in 1854 to reflect this. However, said highway from Halifax to Yarmouth technically passes north of Middleton, not through it. Another important highway from Bridgewater on the South Shore, ends in Middleton, but does not technically connect it to the highway between Halifax and Yarmouth in Middleton like the town is considered to be located at the intersection of these highways. Middleton’s moniker, The Heart of the Valley, is a bit more accurate, earned from its relative location in the abundant, apple growing Annapolis Valley, as well as its past contributions to the area. Middleton really plays on this moniker, with everything from its logo to big heart shapes being behind some of its street signs.
