In the early 1990's, SMART began replacing all remaining SEMTA flags with a new design. These flags were similar to the SEMTA flags, but instead featured the SMART logo above the bus pictogram, which itself was redesigned to resemble the front of a [[New Look]] bus. Originally, these flags were double-sided like the SEMTA flags. | In the early 1990's, SMART began replacing all remaining SEMTA flags with a new design.

Unlike previous SMART flags, these had a curved half-circle top and were in two colors, red and white. On the front, the "double S" symbol was positioned in the top red portion and a generic "'''''smartbus'''''" logo and the SMART phone number and website URL were placed in the bottom white portion. The same features were replicated on the back, but the red area was to the right (and also featured a bus pictogram) and the white area was to the left. | ||
In late 2011, the flag was slightly redesigned. The "'''''smartbus'''''" on the front was replaced with the SMART logo, but the "'''''smartbus'''''" on the back stayed.

Most SMART stops not in the city of Detroit feature a black, tall, flat rectangular box below the flag that contains a schedule for the route serving that stop. These also contain a route map (including transfer points to other SMART routes) and fare information. When multiple routes serve the stop, multiple boxes are used. However, several boxes have been vandalized with the schedule papers removed, leaving the boxes empty. The boxes first debuted in 2012 at stops on route [[Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation route 560 'Gratiot Local'|560]] and were soon placed along other routes across the system, ultimately being completed in early 2014. | |||
