The Seal of the City of Greenville was developed by H.H. Duncan, City Clerk, along with Mrs. R.B. Starling and designer Mr. K.A. Conway.  Their work began in 1952.

Two elements dominate the seal. The influence of the Bright-Leaf Tobacco industry on our city and Pitt County is represented by the hank of “Golden Leaf.”  Equally prominent is the proud presence of East Carolina University, formerly East Carolina Teachers College.  Since Greenville was established in 1774, this is the date used for the seal.

City Council approved the seal’s design on April 11, 1957.

The City Flag was envisioned in 2006 by Council Member Larry Spell and designed by Public Information Officer Steve Hawley.  It has a field of green to represent the city, a horizontal stripe of blue through the middle to represent the Tar River, and the City Seal in the middle.  

City Council approved the flag’s design on May 8, 2006.

The City’s logo and tagline of Find yourself in good company were the result of the City’s branding efforts. The logo has an abstract compass with the needle pointing North (a reference to North Carolina) with a capital G representing Greenville’s position as the “capital of East Carolina.” The compass represents a tool to help you find yourself, as in the tagline of Find yourself in good company. This reflects that when you find yourself in Greenville, you will find yourself among people, businesses, and opportunities that will make you feel welcome and right at home. You’ll find this is a great place to live, work, and play in good company. 

City Council approved the logo and tagline on October 10, 2013.
