Flag of San Diego, The flag of San Diego consists of three vertical bands; colored from left to right; dark red, white and gold. The central white band carries the city seal, which carries the words: `The City of San Diego · State of California · Semper Vigilans.` The last of those three phrases is the city`s official motto, Latin for `ever vigilant.` Under the seal is the number 1542, the year in which Juan RodrÃguez Cabrillo first entered San Diego Bay and claimed the area for the Spanish Empire. The red and gold bands come from the colors of Spain`s flag.
