Flag of the department of Lozère

The flag of Lozère is a green field with the logo of the department in the centre. It carries no arms and no coat of arms.

How it came about

Lozère is a department of France. Its flag is not a blazon: it is a single-colour field with the graphic mark the institution uses as its identity.

The logo is the white logo in the centre: the symbol of infinity next to the word “lozère”. The difference with heraldic flags is total: where a coat of arms tells history with castles or lions, here there is a graphic design.

How it has changed

No approval date is recorded. These are recent flags, tied to the institutional branding of the departmental councils.

Fun facts

1. A mathematical sign as an emblem

   The emblem of Lozère is the symbol of infinity, drawn as a figure of eight. There is no coat of arms, no image of the territory: a sign and the name.

2. Green field, white mark

   The whole field is green and the logo white. It is one of the simplest combinations: two colours and a line.

3. Lozère lost its traditional emblem

   The department had a coat of arms with a relief and a pine tree. The current infinity is nothing like it: the flag changed from standard to mark without keeping a single figure.
