The flag of Washington, DC consists of three red stars above two red bars on a white background. It is based upon the design of the coat of arms of the family of George Washington.
For over a century, the District of Columbia was without an official flag and flew several unofficial banners. In 1938, Congress established a commission to choose an official, original design. The commission ended up choosing in a public competition a design by Charles A.R. Dunn, a graphic designer. His design was officially adopted on October 15, 1938. Dunn had first proposed this design for the D.C. flag in 1921.
