White Hall unveils new logo during flag raising
By Eddie Trizzino
| Times West Virginian Dec 2, 2020
Members of Boy Scouts of America Troop 7
helped raise three new flags in White Hall Monday, an American flag, a West
Virginia flag and a new flag representing the town itself, which now fly in
front of its Public Safety Building. Officials of the Town of White Hall
attended the West Virginia Municipal League last year, where they sat in on a
panel about town branding. Town Coordinator Cindy Stover said after sitting in
on the panel, town officials decided to unite the town around a brand they could
promote itself with. That new brand is now displayed on one of the flags outside
town hall.
“This all started when we went to the Municipal League and
they started talking about branding your town,” Stover said. “So we started
thinking about a logo and a slogan for the town and that’s what we came up with.
It has taken us this long to get to the point where we now have our new town
flag with a new logo.”
White Hall Mayor John Michael described the new
logo, which pinpoints the location of White Hall in West Virginia with a star.
“Today is the unveiling of the Town of White Hall flag,” Michael said. “We
wanted to show on the state map where White Hall was; we did that with a star.
We have the sun rays coming out of the state to make it that we are shining,
that we have a bright future.”
According to Michael, the Town Council has
been working on creating a new logo for nearly a year. He said the timing of its
completion worked out well, because of the developments happening in White Hall
and the Middletown Commons. “If we are ever going to change our flag, now is the
time to do it, with the new growth here, the renovations,” Michael said. “With
the new Public Safety Building, this is the time to change the logo.”
Michael said the logo to him represents the potential for the Town of White
Hall. In his nearly two years as mayor he has seen growth and development that
suggests a strong community on the brink of further growth. “We think the sky is
the limit for our town,” Michael said. “You look around, you see major
renovations at the mall and different things going on. When one business goes
out, another business comes in and fills its spot.”

I'm guessing that a flag image linked to on the FOTW page (https://media.wboy.com/nxs-wboytv-media-us-east-1)
is a welcome mat with the logo and not an actual flag. It shows the design of
the previous flag.
