The white circle with red background represents Monument Circle where the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument resides. The horizontal white stripe symbolizes East and West Market Street and the vertical stripe symbolizes North and South Meridian Street. Finally, the blue quadrants depict the city's residential areas.
