This is the commonly seen flag and is the flag referenced in city documents.

The "Big-Ugly-'G'" flag (as I call it) was supposed to replace the 3-stripe
when it was repealed, but the city of Garland has never done this (although it
was supposed to do it?).

Maybe I can clarify some information about the 2 Garland flags. According to
Donna Irwin of the Garland Community Relations Department, both flags are in
use. The official flag is the "Ugly G", displaying the city seal. The image she
sent me shows the state map behind it, and is the flag shown both in the NAVA
survey and in the recent AMERICAN CITY FLAGS book. The flag with 3 stripes is
the logo flag and according to Ms. Irwin is seen more these days than the
official flag, a trend, incidentally, that has occurred in some other cities
like Grand Rapids, MI and Rochester, NY. The logo flag, by the way, is also
shown in ACF and discussed there.
