From http://auditor.co.hancock.oh.us/flagpage.pdf :
The Hancock County flag was designed by M. Sean Risser of Findlay in honor of
the Centennial Celebration of the Hancock County Courthouse. The design has the
following symbolism:
The red, white and blue colors were chosen in respect to the national flag with
red representing courage, white for purity and blue for justice, along with the
addition of gold symbolizing quality. The triangle on the left side depicts the
same design as on the Ohio State flag. The seventeen stars represent Ohio being
the seventeenth state admitted to the Union. The stars also represent each of
the seventeen townships in Hancock County. The circular stripe encloses three
regions to indicate the past, present and future of Hancock County. The stripe
was designed as a continuing border to represent the permanence of our system of
government. Within this stripe, the plant symbol indicates the importance of
agriculture, the building symbolizes the business and industrial community and
the figures signify the service provided to the residents of Hancock County.
