LEAGUE CITY, TX (USA)
Design E1
Four oaks with leaf in circle

I took another design turn in the E series to represent the four founding families in a more subtle way than in the C and D series. Here, they are represented via brown stripes, representing oak tree trunks that also frame the centre nicely. I thought the oak trees were also a better symbol for sturdiness and stability compared to the fragile and impermanent oak tree leaf. However, I kept the oak tree leaf symbol given it seems to be the preferred city symbol from the Councilman’s design referenced in Design A1.

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.
