Flag of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence

The flag in use by the Departmental Council of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence (photo, photo) is white with the logo adopted in 2015.

Sober, legible and modern, the logo of the departmental institution asserts its dynamic and its values while turning to a strong territorial anchorage.
Strong. "Alpes" and "Provence" are highlighted as the asserted markers of the territory's identity.
Federative. A supportive link unites the two components that characterize the department.
Modern. The graphic design based on a personalized typography plays around with contrasts.
Recognizable. Its sober and efficient design conveys it an excellent legibility whatever the target support.

The color specifications are given as:

		 Pantone        CMYK	     RGB
Darker blue       2747c      100 80 0 30   18  50 116
Lighter blue   Process Cyan   00  0 0  0    0 159 227

The typeface is specified as DIN.
