The [former] flag of the City of Cathedral City, California, is white with city logo on it. The logo in fact represents the sculpture. The sculpture sits at the north east entrance of the City and was done by a local artist. I'm sorry I don't have any other picture to offer you, however the sculpture is created from the visions of the Mountains in the cove of our City. They thought like looked like the Cathedrals, so there was where the city got its name, Cathedral City. Information thanks to Pat Hammers, MMC, City Clerk.
The City:
"Cathedral City is a city in Riverside County, California, United States. The population was 42,647 at the 2000 census. Sandwiched between Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage, it is one of the cities in the Coachella Valley (Palm Springs
area) of southern California. The town's name derives from "Cathedral Canyon" to the south of the town, so named in 1850 by Colonel Henry Washington because its rock formations were reminiscent of a cathedral. The city itself started as a housing subdivision in 1925, but was not incorporated until 1981. The city grew 4-5 times in two decades, as the 2006 population estimate is 48,000." - from Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_City,_California

A flag used until about 2011 has the logo above. It can be seen on this

On NAVA News, the City of Cathedral City is mentioned as once rejecting a
proposal for a flag, in red, white, and blue, and with three “C”s, symbolic of
the city, which was created by the designer of the flag of Palm Springs,
California. Instead of choosing this flag, the city opted for a flag which was
white with the city seal.
The former logo can be seen on the Wayback
Machine, at
https://www.cathedralcity.gov/. It is uncertain if this “seal” was used when
the city used its flag in 1982, or, if so, if this was displayed on any flags
for the municipality.
