## Flag

The flag is a white field with two thin vertical bars of red and blue. The county name is inscribed at the top of the flag. With "KANAWHA" in red and "COUNTY" in blue. Under the name are two upside down star in blue and red with the county outline in the middle. A red star is positioned on the outline over where Charleston would be.

Brandon Daubenspeck designed the flag while in the fifth grade at age ten in 2003. The day he designed it he only had five minutes before we had to leave for school to complete his assignment, which was to design a flag for the county. Due to lack of time, he made it very simple. The simplicity of the design is probably why it was chosen out of more than 300 entries.
