WESTVILLE, NS (Canada)
Five Round 1 carryovers with tweaks
From sharing the various Westville flag concepts in Round 1 on numerous platforms locally, like local Facebook and sub-Reddits, these five designs got positive and constructive feedback for me to alter slightly and keep in the mix for consideration with new and different designs in Round 2 that I hope people will take more of a liking to. This front facing flag of the set had its background colour changed from blue to black, with the pickaxe highlights going the other way. Others in the set tended to have the central charge slightly shrunk to allow more space between them and their “container borders”, or no changes in a few.
I will show the new designs upcoming and different them by having a light blue background, like a pale sky, rather than the green background from the previous round.

REFERENCE
Westville is an inland bedroom community of about 3,500 people in Pictou County, Nova Scotia, that has a proud and sometimes tragic mining past that ended in the 1990s. There once was three underground mines, and an explosion in 1873 killed 70 miners, for whom there is a memorial. Another prominent memorial in town is the cenotaph. Like many mining towns, Westville once had some prominent amateur sport teams in baseball, cricket, hockey, and football. However, today, there is only a recreational sport scene there. The town’s colours are a deep blue, white, and black, and is on everything from the website to the former high school and current minor hockey league team. Miners and mining are definitely Westville’s identity, with their website pointing out on its home page how this small town with a big heart needs to honour its past so as to have a future. The town has no logo, a very crudely drawn seal of two men working in the mines, and practically no branding aside from the colour scheme mentioned.
