No flag

The city of Bend has informed me it has no flag.

Flag Proposal

I came this flag proposal (image: https://i.redditmedia.com/, source: https://www.reddit.com/r/vexillology/comments/42inwn/bend_oregon_flag_design/) but no further information if there is indeed a contest for flag proposals. For the moment, such a proposed flag (http://i.imgur.com/ElyJbU1.jpg, archived as us-orben!.gif) was submitted through Reddit and its designer (User: ShotgunPaul) mentions the following information when designing the flag: "First attempt at a flag for Bend. Gold represents the high desert and craft beer industry, black is the volcanic rocks and mountains, blue is the open sky and freedom for Bend residents. The mountains in profile are Bachelor and the Sisters. I think as I refine this, the profile is what I'll work on the most. (The three stars represent) Three phases of its history: The original Native tribes, the construction of the sawmill on the Deschutes River, and its incorporation as a city (January 4, 1905)."
