The flag of Boise, Idaho, is a blue background with the city's logo in the center. A narrow horizontal white stripe extends from the lower half of the logo to the flag's edges.

Symbolism[]

The capitol dome denotes Boise's role as capital city of Idaho. The trees reflect its motto, "City of Trees". The motto suggests the origin of the name of the city, corrupted from the French "Les Bois", "The Woods".[1]

History[]

Flag redesign[]

On January 10, 2025, the city announced that it was inviting residents to help redesign its flag. A public survey was launched on January 13, and closed on January 31. It asked the community to share ideas and values they want reflected in the design. Nearly 3,000 responses were submitted. The process will be in four phases, which includes local artists submitting designs in February, with the deadline for submissions on February 24, 2025, and the finalists will be chosen through a blind review by the Flag Design Committee in March. Residents will have the opportunity to vote on the final options in April, and the new flag will be unveiled in May.[2][3]
