Description of the flag

The website at www.pismobeach.org/SITE/index/index.html shows for the City of Pismo Beach seal. The minutes of the 6 July 2004 City Council Meeting mention a council member asking to see the design of the city flag and logos, but no further details are mentioned. See www.pismobeach.org/SITE/pdf/council/minutes/070604.pdf.

The seal

Based on www.pismobeach.org/SITE/index/index.html the seal is very simple in composition and design, but the clever use of color makes it quite attractive. It follows the usual circular format, with a wide outer ring being bordered externally and internally in blue and having a white background color. At the top of the seal are the words 'CITY OF' in blue block lettering, with 'PISMO BEACH' at the bottom. The central image consists of a rising sun in gold, with eight gold and seven white rays. To the right of the sun is a sheer cliff in bright blue, while the bottom depicts a stylized seashore with alternating dark blue and white waves.
