The NAVA 12 Flag:

 

The NAVA 12 flag was designed by Charles Brannon.  While the exact symbolism of this flag remains unknown it has been said to represent people of three races of man looking forward to the future of vexillology, but less is known about this annual meeting flag than any other.  It may have also been designed for the “Personal Flags of North Americans: An Introduction to the People” exhibition held in Montgomery.  This is the only flag in the NAVA annual meeting flag that has the word “NAVA” on it.
