2019 Design of Topeka Kansas. The flag was chosen by voters in a re-design contest and has the following symbolism:

• Sunflower -- Topeka’s connection as the state capital
• Golden City -- Topeka is known as the “Golden City” because of the way the sun washes over the land. The use of the sunflower was inspired by that visual
• Capital -- represented by the five-point star, located where Topeka is on a map
• Ad Astra -- “To The Stars Through Difficulty,” a nod to our state motto, represented by the green arrow pointing to the white star; shows forward motion
• Nine Petals -- stands for the nine founders of Topeka
