Details and additional photos of NAVA 44
The NAVA 44 Flag: William M. Belanich, Jr., of Hamilton, Ohio, designed the flag, inspired by the flag of Los Angeles, the host city. The fly is red and the hoist green, separated by a serrated gold stripe recalling the “V” for vexillology. (The colors on the Los Angeles city flag are red for vineyards, golden-yellow for orange groves, and green for olive trees; they come from the flags of Spain and Mexico.) The stylized gold design in the hoist, two stylized and mirrored “4”s (in AR Destine font), denotes the 44th annual meeting of NAVA and suggests angels’ wings, recalling the city’s name. The committee adapted the concept of the angels from a design submitted by John C. Karp, Jr. of Minden, Nevada. The Design Committee comprised Peter Ansoff, Will Levin, Marlene Little, and John Purcell.
