Atlanta

The flag of Atlanta, the capital city of Georgia, is a blue background with the state seal, in yellow, in the middle of the flag.
==Symbolism==
The phoenix refers to the rising of the city from the ashes of its destruction in the Civil War. An official pamphlet explains:Just as the phoenix, fabled bird of myth and story, rose from its ashes to begin a new life, the people of Atlanta returned to the ashes of their city without bitterness or self-pity, and began the gigantic task which lay before them. Their seal is an enduring symbol of the courage, vision and selflessness they brought to that task … reminders of a gallant past, of the civic spirit which will make tomorrow the full realization of today’s hopes and plans.In Latin, Resurgens means “Rising again”.
== 2004 NAVA survey ==
The flag scored 3.58 on the 2004 NAVA City Flag Survey, behind Bismarck, and tied with Augusta.
