Othello stands beneath a dramatic evening sky
The shape of the State of Tennessee in purple, outlined in teal. Over Hamilton County and Chattanooga are placed two yellow masks pressed together. The left with a smile, right with a frown. Along the bottom of the state are the words Scenic City Shakespeare.
