NAVA 21 / ICV 12: San Francisco, California, USA
University of San Francisco — Lone Mountain Conference Center
August 12–16, 1987

The 21st Annual Meeting of NAVA and the 12th International Congress of Vexillology were hosted jointly as "Flag Congress / San Francisco".

Details and additional photos of NAVA 21/ICV 12 appeared in: NAVA News v. 20 no. 6 (Sept.-Oct. 1987)
The proceedings were published as: "12 ICV REPORT" in The Flag Bulletin, v. XXVII: 1-4/130
A 2-hour video of the entire congress, perhaps the first video-recording of an ICV, appears here:  Flag Congress / San Francisco (on NAVA's YouTube channel)

The NAVA 21 / ICV 12 Flag:

The design was the joint effort of James Croft, Jim Ferrigan, and Whitney Smith.  The flag shows the phoenix, flames, and torse that appear on the San Francisco flag.  The background resembles the NAVA flag.
