Description of the flag

Indirect evidence exists of the Weston town flag in "The Weston Forum", 1 May 2007 (page no longer on-line). On the colour photography captioned "First Selectman Woody Bliss accepted the Weston town flag which flew over Baghdad from Erin Miller of the Dagger Brigade", the flag can be partially seen. It seems to feature the colour version of the municipal coat of arms, which can be seen in black and white on the town website (http://www.weston-ct.com). The flag on the picture is held upside down since the two fishes shown in lower right corner are in the canton of the arms.

The Town of Weston, Connecticut, introduced its flag during bicentennial celebration several years ago. However, the flag is now lost, and they have no image or photo of it.

The flag for the town of Weston, Connecticut, consists of a colored version of the town seal in the center and the background divided vertically into two halves; the left half is light blue and the right half is green. I could not find any perfect pictures of the flag, so a couple of the colors might have to be a slight guess/estimation, but I've found enough pictures to make a very reasonable assumption that there's nothing additional on the flag that I missed, such as text.

The first and third below pictures are from westontoday.news via google search "weston ct town meeting" but these images don't seem to directly correlate to any article anymore.

This page has some close-ups of the flag: https://www.westonhistoricalsociety.org. The fact that the image of the seal has a base of dark blue and black and that close-up photos show a base of light blue and green suggest to me that different versions of the flag exist.

The orginal blazon seems to specify more colors than those on the flag, judging from the poorly descernible hatching on this other coat of arms image: https://portalbuzzuserfiles.s3.amazonaws.com

There is/was also a town logo, with a leaf and a "W" in two shades of blue [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Weston,_CT_Logo.png]. I would expect to see this on a white flag, but apparently that’s not so.
