Overview

Soviet era name: Dnepropetrovsk
Antonio Martins, 10 July 1999

The adopted flag and CoA of Dniepopetrovsk oblast are available at <www.adm.dp.ua>. It appears that the image of the CoA on the Ukrainian heraldry website is not the current one but only a proposal. The final design is very close but different.
Pascal Gross, 24 August 2002

From <www.heraldry.com.ua>:
"It is a rectangular panel are bend by dark blue (top left part) and white (bottom right part) strips. The image on a flag reconstructs graphic elements of the oblast' emblem. A flagstaff has length 2,5 meters and diameter 5sm. The fastening of a panel is carried out by the gold nails. A flagstaff's top has the metal image of the oblast' emblem."

Proposal (?)

from the site of Ukrainian Heraldry

From the site of Ukrainian Heraldry:
The modern Coat of Arms is an argent shield bend sinister by the gules embatted and azure wavy lines. In the first part are three azure stars with for rays on each, in the second part is Zaporizhzhya Cossack with rifle. The shield is framed by a gold ear and an acacia branch, entwined by a blue-yellow ribbon
