The design of the flag was inspired by the old name""Zeven-Fank", meaning: seven areas. These were symbolized in the red fields and the emblems thereon. The central, most important emblems are the green disks, occurring too in the arms of the former bailiffship of De Zeevang. The stars symbolize villages and towns. The colors are derived from the old arms of the bailiffship.
