Hyattsville

The flag of Hyattsville, Maryland, consists of a gold V-shape across the entire flag, with the top triangle being dark blue, and the two bottom triangles being light blue. Inside the dark blue triangle is a flower with 10 gold petals and a light blue center. 
== Symbolism ==
The triangular design references an envelope (a nod to the postmaster title held by the City's founder), the branches of the Anacostia River that frame the city, and the steep peaks of the city's historic Victorian homes. The light blue is a nod to the color of the city's previous flag, and also represents the calm flow of Anacostia, with the addition of yellow from the Maryland state flag, which also represents abundance, natural recourses, trade, and the indigenous peoples, and dark blue as a compliment color, which also represents a Victorian roof pitch. The three colors mimic livery of the B&O (Baltimore and Ohio) Railroad of historic importance. The flower is a stylized version of flowers native to the area, like the Black-Eyed Susan (Maryland's state flower), sunflowers, and coneflowers. The flag is a balance between simplicity and complexity.https://www.hyattsville.org/newflag
