The blue and yellow are taken from the original flag, yellow representing rising from the ashes, blue representing the Peachtree Creek and the Chattahoochee River, white representing goodwill. The bird was also taken from the previous flag. The sun also represents rising, and Atlanta itself. The eight stars represent Downtown, Midtown, The West Side, The East Side, Southwestern Atlanta, Southeastern Atlanta, Northwestern Atlanta and Buckhead.
