The flag features a prominent forest green background, symbolizing the abundance of Evanston's urban tree canopy. 
Near the center of the flag is a striking white star, representing the Grosse Point Lighthouse, a historic landmark. The star also signifies the lighthouse’s beacon of light, radiating from north to south, illuminating and guiding the community. 
On the right side of the flag, a blue stripe represents the vast expanse of Lake Michigan, a defining geographical feature of Evanston and an important natural resource providing drinking water to multiple adjacent communities. Parallel to this stripe is a golden band, symbolizing the sandy beaches that border the lake. 
The layout of the flag is inspired by an aerial view of Evanston, integrating its key natural elements into a cohesive and visually appealing design.Press Release: City of Evanston and Mayor Bliss Announce 7-Year-Old Bernie Allen-Harrah As Winner of Mayor's Youth Flag Redesign Contest, Unveils New City Flag by the City of Evanston, IL
