Lincoln’s new flag is unfurled

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — The city’s new flag was raised for the first time Thursday at a ceremony at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

The Lincoln City Council approved local graphic designer Ed Mejia’s design, “All Roads Lead to Lincoln,” last month.

Mejia, who immigrated from El Salvador, said the flag was his love letter to the city.

“A lot of the design was inspired by the Capitol, as the Capitol is probably the greatest symbol of Nebraska and Lincoln,” he said.

It was selected out of 190 entries in a contest.
