LEAGUE CITY, TX (USA)
Design D1
Four leaves in shield
In this design, I brought in the shield concept for “League” from Design B2, and designed it to be a bit more like the NFL shield than in Design B2. I made the shield green because it had more general appeal than brown, which I kept for the side framing to square off the space holding the shield. In the top portion of the shield, I put four small oak leaves for the four founding families. However, I put a star in the bigger, lower part of the shield to represent the city in the way so many American and Texan cities (or other government and geographical entities) like to be represented in their flags, by a star. The brown star, as I have it in this design, though, would be a relatively rare star rendering that League City can claim for distinction in natural relation to its oak tree symbolism, rather than cast off as just another place using a star to represent itself. Also, this design lessened the prominence of the four founding families like those in designs C1 and C2, which may not be that important to League City given their past flags had not acknowledged the founding families.

REFERENCE
League City, Texas, is a city of about 112,000 in the southeast corner of the Greater Houston metropolis. The city has four founding families, but the League name came from J.C. League who developed the city along then existing railways. Over the years, trees have proven important to the city, with oak trees from 1907 lining Main Street, the city seal containing an oak tree, and the recent 60th anniversary of incorporation using an oak tree leaf. The city has several flags recently (last pic), all with more than just white and variations of green for colours that is on their website and recent branding.
