Description of the flag

The flag of Lovrenc na Pohorju is prescribed by decision Odlok o istovetnostnih simbolih obcine Lovrenc na Pohorju, adopted on 1 June 2000 and published in the official local gazette Medobcinski uradni vestnik, 11/2000.

The symbols were designed by Valt Jurecic of Heraldika d.o.o. and Heraldica Slovenica, who kindly provided drawings from which the images shown on this page were made.

The flag is horizontal in ratio 2:5, vertically divided in three fields green-yellow-green, the middle one being square and bearing a juniper tree from the coat of arms.

The town of Lovrenc na Pohorju, included in the municipality, also has its flag and coat of arms.

Flag proposal

by Zeljko Heimer

While discussing the adoption of the new symbols, in the final phase, some proposals were made public. The proposals shown here were designed by Valt Jurecic of Heraldika d.o.o. and Heraldica Slovenica, who kindly provided drawings from which the images were made.

The flag proposal is of a design characteristic of the Slovenian municipal flags. An cross of unusual shape is made of a combination of an horizontal division in three stripes and a vertical division in three unequal stripes, which is often known as Canadian pale. Therefore, the flag has four rectangles, one in each corner, while the main field forms an unusual wide cross. The vertical arm of the cross is square and bears some attribute from the coat of arms as a rule.

The flag overall ratio is 2:5. It can be easily shown that the corner rectangles should be 1/3 H x 3/4 H, H being the flag height.

The flag proposal has such a yellow on a green field, with a juniper tree from the coat of arms.as the central attribute.
