The conjunctural flag of the Mayorship usually is a cloth with
approximated ratio 2:3 loading on the center the corresponding
Logotype. There are diverse versions because logotype is placed
on different colors (white, blue, yellow, green) and the letters
are contrasted with the background whilst logotype stays equal:
escutcheon of with form of almond divided per pale or vertically
into two plane quarters: Saber (black) to the dexter and Orange
to the sinister, all superimposed by a super streamlined and
kinetic representation of the Obelisk located on Plaza Francia
(France Square) of Altamira (place of the Municipality) in Argent
(white) and Iron (gray) disposed in pale, that is to say,
vertically. The same configuration of the logo is lent to be
heraldically described although certainly isn’t a Coat of
Arms if we rely on the strictly heraldic rules.
