As in Mayenne, the main figure here is a horse. But Orne’s is drawn in black strokes and without wings: it is a real horse, not a Pegasus.
The logo uses two colours for the text: “L’ORNE” in green and “Conseil départemental” in black. The hierarchy is marked by colour as well as by size.
The Orne is a river that gives the department its name. The logo does not draw it as water, as in Cher: it replaces it with a horse, which has nothing to do with the riverbed.
