Denmark has a new administrative-territorial structure and Regions
replaced Amten, and also the number of municipalities was reduced. The
page at http://www.rm.dk/om+regionen/aktuelt/designguide/ting+med+logo/flag shows
a flag of a region (Midtjylland) and records that it is legal to put
the logo on a white field, with a list of acceptable variants
(vertical, hortizonal, logo centered or on the fly). There seem to
exist different logos for vertical versus
horizontal usage.

None of the Danish regions adopted coats of arms, as far as I
understand because they were not allowed to adopt arms by the law
regulating the creation of the regions. The municipal structure has
also been reformed, reducing the number of municipalities to 98, and
the law on municipalities is explicit on the point that municipalities
do have the right to adopt arms. Not that this is very much help in
terms of heraldically "correct" banners, though. Only one municipality
is known to have adopted a banner of arms:
Frederikssund. See: http://www.dagbladetonline.dk.
Most other municipalities let their flags be design by graphic
designers in public relations agencies. As a result shields, or parts
of shields, are put on fields along with text. The municipality of
Haderslev may serve as one example of standard rectangular flag with
the shield put on a sheet along with text: http://designmanual.haderslev.dk/Menu/Skiltning+og+flag/Flag
while the flags of Halsnæs municipality are examples
of long format flags with shiled, text, etc: http://www.halsnaes.dk/Global/Nyheder/Flaget%20hejst%20over%20Halsnaes.aspx.
Some of the flags designed in publicity agencies seem to negate the
idea of a flag, for instance one of the versions for a flag of
Jammerbugt municipality, in white and light grey according to the
design manual. The design manual also contains coloured
versions of flags, but the grey and white flag seems to be based on the
idea of a "camouflage flag".

Regions have quite limited responsibilities and functions, mainly
providing hospital and health services. The lack of legal authorization
to adopt arms was explicitly interpreted in the press by
a representative of a Ministry saying it was out of the
question for the regions to have arms. This came as a response to
proposals from the public that all regions adopt arms.
