PORT HAWKESBURY, NS
Design E4
Hawk head in almond

With two curves in the previous E series of designs, a natural curiosity was to see how they’d look combined because it would be a distinct look, for sure. This was the result of that test. I like it, except the symbolic meaning would be limited with just the hawk head, and some of the Town colours. But far more interesting visually than other, more traditional ways of framing that hawk head, or just leaving it on a single colour background. So maybe not for this flag, but could be useful for future designs I might do.

REFERENCE
Port Hawkesbury is a municipality of about 3200 people in 8.10 sq km (3.13 sq mi) in the south of Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. It is a part of Inverness County, geographically, but is independent of it politically. It was founded as Ship Harbour in 1789, but renamed in honour of Admiral Sir Edward Hawke. It has a history of ship building for the timber export trade, schooners, and fishing boats. Today, it is largely a service centre for western Cape Breton, with many residents working in large industries in adjacent communities. Otherwise, there isn’t a lot of symbolism associated with Port Hawkesbury, historically or visually, simple or iconic enough for a flag, except for maybe the tamarack tree from an areas and some buildings so named currently.
