Municipal flag of Ravne na Koroškem

The municipality of Ravne na Koroškem adopted in 1989 for coat of arms the old coat of arms of the town of Ravne, though in a modern artistic redention. Also, the flag was adopted to be bicolour based on the coat of arms. When in 1995 the newly created municipality was renamed Ravne-Prevalje, the symbols were retained, as well as when in 1998 the municipality of Prevaljeseceded, and the old name was restored, now for a territorially much smaller municipality.

The flag of Ravne na Koroškem is rectangular, in proportions 1:2, horizontally divided light blue-green, with the coat of arms in the middle. No vertical version is prescribed, though it is prescribed that the top of the coat of arms is in the blue part of the flag, which may mean that in vertical hoisting it is not "rotated back".

Decisions:
1. Odlok o grbu in zastavi občine Ravne na Koroškem, signed on 1 April 1990 and published in the local gazette Medobčinski uradni vestnik, nr. 5/90, pp. 129-130.
2. Odlok o grbu in zastavi Občine Ravne-Prevalje, adopted on 6 July 1995 and published in the official Slovene gazette Uradni list Republike Slovenije, nr. 51, 7 September 1995, pp. 4021-2;

Decision (1) was adopted on 8 November 1989, though it was signed only on 11 April 1990. It came into effect eight days after publication date in gazette, which is unknown. Decision (2) abolished the former one, and it came in effect eight days after publication, i.e., on 14 November 1995, though that did not change anything of importance.
Decision (3), connected with the change in the municipality name, only repeats the previous decision. However, decision (4) gives provision for a vertical flag, with a rotated coat of arms.

The colour specifications are given in the 1999 Decision as follows:
- Light blue: Pantone 290C / HKS 47K 80% / PVC 056 ice blue

- Dark brown: Pantone 4625C / HKS 76K / PVC 080 / RAL 8017
Light green is for the border and hills, while dark green is for the tree; light blue is for the shield background and dark brown for all the lines and the tree trunk. The flag is light blue and light green.
