Flag in Use


by Raul Jesus Orta Pardo, 17 July 2004

The conjunctural flag of the Mayorship usually is a cloth with approximated ratio 2:3 loading on the center the corresponding Logotype. There are diverse versions because logotype is placed on different colors (white, blue, yellow, green) and the letters are contrasted with the background whilst logotype stays equal: escutcheon of with form of almond divided per pale or vertically into two plane quarters: Saber (black) to the dexter and Orange to the sinister, all superimposed by a super streamlined and kinetic representation of the Obelisk located on Plaza Francia (France Square) of Altamira (place of the Municipality) in Argent (white) and Iron (gray) disposed in pale, that is to say, vertically. The same configuration of the logo is lent to be heraldically described although certainly isn’t a Coat of Arms if we rely on the strictly heraldic rules.
