Ha!  Before I read the caption, I thought that lower right was one of the options and I was getting ready to say, "Gag...!"

B is good. 

A looks derivative. 

C is good, but a little 'busy'.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Yuck  :-\

Not entirely a fan of any. I don't see any being identified as truly Tulsan. I guess the one with the dreamcatcher, as it is probably the closest in relation to the OK State flag (using Colorado/Denver as a standard, the two are similar but different enough).

Meh.  None of them are bad, none of them blow me away.  That's probably a requisite to be a flag for any government.  At least all are somewhat unique and identifiable, none are a detailed logo indistinguishable from distance with a blue field in the background the the word of whatever entity it belongs to inscribed.

I viscerally like C, but it doesn't remind of of Tulsa at all.  A has a clever use of the T logo.  B's dream catcher is cliche, but an homage to the Native American heritage I guess.

I have ideas bouncing in my head, but not sure I could do any better.

Dreamcatchers are Ojibwe. But we have a governor whose daughter wears a headdress, so what do we know about cultural appropriation?

I think A is the only real choice here.

A is supposed to be an odd riff on the Tulsa city shield, I take it?

B I get with the Indian heritage, but C is a mystery to me.  How exactly does that tie in to Tulsa?  It's like a new logo submission for Dos Equis.

I like A because it does reference the shield...but it's also a T, a diamond and a tree. B is cheesy and C is just a design with no reference to anything.

A for the win.
Santa Fe can have B.
C is a chain link fence.

All three suck. But B sucks the least, so that's the winner. I have spoken.

So this new flag will attract tourists at a rate higher than the costs of replacing all the flags?

Will they be replacing the shield "flag" on all the city vehicles as well?

I was expecting far worse, so pleasantly surprised.

What about taking B, flipping the dreamcatcher and tweaking it to make it look like the downtown skyline?

Crude mockup. I'm seeing a lot of issues with using the dreamcatcher on comments/Facebook.
