The former flag of the General Council of Aveyron is green with the Council's logo in the middle. This flag is now obsolete since the General Council has a new logo.
The former logo of the General Council of Aveyron is a white rectangle with a green, smaller rectangle, charged with an orange-yellow letter "A" and the white writing "AVEYRON", surmounting the white writing "CONSEIL GENERAL" and a thin horizontal green stripe.
