Executive Decree concerning the colours and seal of the Canton

The colours red and blue are those defined in Fig. 1. For black and white representations, the two colours of the Canton are identified by heraldic signs; red by vertical lines and blue by horizontal lines (see Fig. 2).

In the military flag (square, see Fig. 3), and in the oblong standard (banderole, flame, pennon – see Fig. 4), the colors are arranged perpendicularly to the flagpole, with red being at the top. Both colors, red and blue, therefore originate from the flagpole.

In the bracelet (see Fig. 5), the colors are arranged as stated above, i.e., horizontally.

In the shield (see fig. 6), however, and in the gonfalon (see fig. 7), or generally in all flags whose natural position is to hang, the colors are arranged vertically, with red on the left of the observer (heraldic right). The same applies to the cockade (see fig. 8).

The tinctures are heraldic ones: Gules; Azure.

The acronym and the coat of arms of the Canton present on the printed materials and publications of the Canton are those defined by fig. 9.

The Seal of the Canton is that depicted in Fig. 10.

The present decree repeals the Resolution concerning the colours and seal of the Canton of 6 October 1930.

This decree shall be published in the Official Bulletin of Laws and Executive Acts and shall enter into force immediately.
