Logo
the graphic identity of the departmental council.
No arms
there are no arms, crown or helm.
The logo carries a “Y” and an apostrophe, because “Yvelines” is a phrase that begins with an apostrophe in French. The initial is also a punctuation mark.
Fuchsia is an unusual colour in flags. On white, the disc is visible from a distance, and the white “Y” cut out inside works as a letter in negative.
The name of the department is separated from the disc by a thin vertical line. The line does the job of a separator, with no need for a border around it.
