Afternoon views of the sun tucking behind the White Tank Mountains was all the inspiration Sun City Grand resident Terry Conradt needed to design a winning entry in the city s flag design contest.
Surprise is a beautiful city.
The beauty here makes designs like that easy. The judges included two art teachers, City Councilman Johnny Montoya and the city s graphics consultant, Joan Risdon, of Absolute Graphics. The winning design, which was enhanced by Risdon, shows a brilliant yellow sun, surrounded by blue sky, dropping behind the northern edge of the purple White Tank Mountains. A blue S in Surprise embraces the sun and mountains. Conradt and his wife moved to Sun City Grand about a year and a half ago.
