Municipal flag of Tržič

The flag and arms of Tržič are prescribed by Decision Odlok o grbu in zastavi Občine Tržič, adopted on 1 October 1997, and published in the official Slovene gazette Uradni list Republike Slovenije 65/1997 on 24 October 1997, with effect on 7 October 1997.

The symbols were designed by Valt Jurečič 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 based on the municipal coat of arms. It is rectangular, in ratio 2:5, vertically divided blue-white with an embattled cut, forming three blue square "teeth" and two and two half squares white.

On the CDR files available on the municipal website, the flag is shown with proportion 1:2.

The coat of arms of Tržič is:

Azure, masoned walls argent with four embattlements.

The detailed description of the arms requires seven rows of stones visible in the wall and four loopholes below the embattlements in the fifth row from the base. The coat of arms is outlined in yellow, as this is the case with many modern artistical renditions of the Slovenian local coats of arms. The colours used are specified as follows:

Blue: CMYK 100-35-0-10
Yellow: CMYK 0-20-100-0

The CDR files available on the municipal website show the shield with a slightly different sdhape and bordered with a thin yellow line and a thick blue border.

According to Zalokar [zal90], the former flag of Tržič was red with the former coat of arms in the middle. Zalokar claims that the red field of the flag stands for the leather industry in Tržič.

The white walls on a blue shield are part of the traditional coat of arms of Tržič. The former coat of arms was officially adopted in the 1980s, in a slightly different artistic presentation, including a closed wooden door.
