Symbolism: This concept stakes Columbus's claim to Columbus-style pizza.

The checkers represent the square cut pizza. Locating them centrally represents Columbus as (more or less) the center of Ohio. The yellow represents cheese. The red represents pepperoni and tomato sauce. The white ring represents the metal serving platter your pizza arrives on. The thin white bar represents the small portion of your clothes that aren't stained when you're done eating. The blue bar obviously represents the ocean that Christopher Columbus sailed across before founding our fair city and creating the first Columbus style pizza.

Symbolism:

Blue ring surrounding scarlet circle: draws directly from Ohio's flag. The circle represents Columbus's place at the center and capital of Ohio. It also brings to mind the I-270 outerbelt, which people have been drawing for me any time I ask them to explain Columbus.

The blue ring is split into two parts (and makes a C):

The lighter blue section represents the Olentangy River. It is the color of the background of the Columbus seal.

The darker blue section represents the Scioto River. It is the blue from the Ohio (and by reference the US) flag. It has the shape of the river downtown.

The gold background is from the original city flag. It represents the value of the great people of Columbus, the foundation on which the city has been built.

Symbolism:

The blue semi-circle represents the Scioto River, which is directly west of Broad Street and High Street. The red and white stripes to the right correspond with the seven members of city council. The star in the middle suggests the mayor’s office, or the executive branch of city government. The yellow blocking represents fields, and the left of the circle represents the peninsula of Franklinton, where the original settlement of Columbus was founded.
