For the NAVA 42/VAST 2 flag, the convention committee selected a historical design originally drawn by Peter Krag.

The flag is a rectangular variant of the Texas revenue service flag, which is a square naval auxiliary flag authorized by the 1839 act that established the Lone Star Flag as the national flag of the Republic of Texas. Krag drew the official art for both the Lone Star Flag and the auxiliary naval flags.

The flag's design is especially appropriate for the meeting in Austin because the meeting celebrates the 75th anniversary of the Lone Star Flag's readoption in 1933.
