Translated from <www.dunakeszi.hu>:
"The city flag has a ratio of 1:2, rectangular, a silver
(that is, white [then "argent" is the better word])
background, with a fringe of the same colour. The municipal arms
are situated in the centre third of the flag - according to the
usual scale - with a grape wreath bordering the lower part. On
the flag, the arms may be placed either horizontally or
vertically."

Image is based on the Res. No. 11/1991. (X.10.) of the
Community of the Town at <www.dunakeszi.hu>.
Description: Ratio of the flag of the town is 1:2, rectangle, the
basic colour of it is silver (means white). Silver means white,
not grey!! The picture is incorrect on <www.dunakeszi.hu>.
My friend living there said: the colours are of the Coat of Arms
(and flag of course): white-blue-green! On the picture you can
see at <www.dunakeszi.hu/zaszlo.gif>
the colours are: grey-blue-black (sic!).

Translated from this site:
"The municipal arms are "anvil-shaped",
silver/argent in the middle - simbolizing the Danube -
"wavy-lined" separating the flag into two parts. On the
top part, with a blue background, the city's patron saint, Saint
Michael, can be seen, in silver. The arms' lower green field
contains a horsehead coupé(?) silver, symbolizing Alag's
horseracing."

Translated from this site:
"The city's pending seal is oval-shaped, with a 5x6 cm
diameter. The "sealpress" (I can't think of the word,
perhaps the stamping itself? - Unsure) is oval-shaped, with a
2.35x3 cm diameter. On the top part, on a stylized ribbon, is the
inscription "Dunakeszi". On the seal's lower-right[sic]
field, Saint Michael is situated, on an anvil-shaped shield. On
the lower part of the seal, the inscription "KEZEW
1255", which represents the settlement's first written
mention, and the date of that mention."
