Here is the new municipal flag of Arnhem, drawn by Arnaud Leroy after
information he received from the municipality of
Arnhem.
The flag is horizontally divided yellow-blue with a white vertical
stripe placed along the hoist; there are 31 red dots along the limit between
the white stripe and the colour fields; a blue shield with a white double-headed
eagle and surmonted with a blue crown is placed in lower hoist. Gemeente
(Municipality, in small blue Capital letters) and Arnhem (in big green
letters) is written in the rest of the white stripe.The file on which this
image is based, was entitled "20030830 nieuwe vlag" (=new flag dated
30 Sep 2003).
Grrrrrrrr!!!!

Couldn't agree more. This is what happens when the advertising industry
takes over vexillography. On the plus side, clearly identifying the enemy
is the first step to defeating him :-)

It would be interesting to know why they (or anybody, for that matter)
think it is necessary or appropriate to have the name of the municipality
on the flag. For that, you could just as well skip the colours and other
images and just fly white flags with names printed on them in black letters.

Isn't this just a promotional banner?

The new flag of Arnhem is: at the hoist the new municipal logo, and
at the fly two horizontal stripes of *green* and blue.

I wrote to my contact at the Arnhem municipal office, and Anka Buunk
(Concernmanager communications, municipality of Arnhem) replied:
"It is the (unofficial) logo-flag, which is flying daily in front of
municipal buildings, taken into use in 2002, designed by "Total Identity"
in Amsterdam. It has no symbolic meaning. However the "old" flag is still
the official flag, used at the appropriate occasions".
The situation ain't as bad as it seemed...

On 18 September 2009, "De
Gelderlander" reports that the 22 boroughs of Arnhem will fly each
a specific flag during the carnaval.
The photo attached to the article shows a few flags, which are rectangular
banners to be displayed vertically.

To be more exact: For two weeks in November all 130 event-masts in Arnhem
will display new borough-banners. The Carnaval-society "On-Ganse" invited
22 Arnhem artists to design banners for all 22 boroughs of the municipality,
with their own symbols.
That is happening at the occasion of the 3rd Volunteersgala on 14 November.
During the festive evening in Musis Sacrum (the Arnhem musical temple)
a procession will be held, in which all flags will be shown to the public.
Each borough has its own flag-carrier. The following Monday the banners
will be hung at inroads and at several striking places in the center. After
that "On-Ganse" will present the banners to the boroughs.
In "De Gelderlander" of Saturday a complete survey of all borough-banners.
(Which never appeared...)
