A yellow eight petal rose on red. The artist was Arne E. Holm. I have seen drawings of the flag indicating a square (1:1) shape, but the flags I have seen flying in television reports have been more rectangular (some municipalities use the proportions of the national flag 8:11 regardless the recommended heraldic shape).

Trondheim (although in the article Jan Oskar shows it as unusual vertical
rectangle ca. 3:2, I put it as 8:11, which seems to be what is in use.

The flag was used in connection with 1000-years celebrations
of the
establishment of the city of Trondheim in 1997 : red flag with yellow
logo and inscription TRONDHEIM 997 - 1997.
The drawing in NFK shows approxim. 2:3 flag with somewhat different
letters, but I based my drawing on what I believe to be a more
faithful depiction of the logo at

The article in NFK reports on the news story in Dagbladet 13 March
1997, on this flags being stolen.

According to [c2j87] the city administration
decided on 25 March 1897 that the city's old seal shall be the official emblem,
and it is since then most often shown in the shield form. The drawing is by
Hakon Thorsen.
The oldest seal is from the 13th century, known on documents from 1344 and 1439.
It was probably the most important Norwegian seal/coat of arms and there should
be much about it on line, but I have not found much readily available.
