Sv. Fuilip i Jakov is a community in Zadar County some 20 km
south of Zadar , just north of Biograd na moru. It is a well known
summer resort. It has 4,500 inhabitants.
The coat of arms is azure a bar gemel or and overall a crozier
argent in pale. The coat of arms is rather frequently used (in
comparison with coat of arms of other communities in the region I
think I have seen it unnumbered of times on all possible spots),
most frequently in the "ceremonial" version
ornamented with an olive and a vine branch. This may indicate
that there is also a ceremonial flag in similar design, but I
have no other "hints" for that.
As the matter of fact, I have not seen the flag of Sv. Filip i
Jakov even if it is most certainly adopted.
The place is named after the patrons - Saint Philip and Jacob.
The crozier stands for their pastoral work, while the double bar
symbolically stand for the two saints.
I estimate that the coat of arms was adopted around 1998.

The symbols were designed by the Heraldic
Art d.o.o. from Rijeka.

The flag is shown in the photos reporting the HDZ electional
campain at "HDZ
u Sv. Filipu i Jakovu i Pakoštanima", 18.11.2007.
The flag is light blue with the coat of arms bordered yellow in
the middle.
