Message of the Day – Flags Posted on 05/08/2017 by Cal SkinnerApril 29, 2017 Went to the Crystal Lake Library and noticed Crystal Lake’s flag fluttering in front of the parking lot below the American Flag. American and Crystal Lake Flags fly at the Crystal Lake Library.
This is something that needs to change. It breaks two important rules of good flag design. One, it shouldn’t be a seal. A seal is meant to be stamped on a document. T wo, the flag has words. Not one good flag has words. If you need to write down the name of the place on the flag then you don’t understand the purpose of a flag. What the city used to have was a much better choice. What happened to the old one?
