Flag of Dnipro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The municipal flag of Dnipro was first adopted in December 2001 following a competition organised by the city council of Dnipro. Ten designs reached the final stage of the competition; the winning entry was designed by S. S. Poliushkin.

The flag's design was subsequently modified: the field became white with stylised waves representing the Dnieper River in the lower portion, and the coat of arms in the centre was simplified.
2012 competition
On 18 April 2012, the mayor issued decree No. 212-r announcing a competition for a new city flag design.[1][2] The new flag of Dnipro was adopted on 5 December 2012 at a regular session of the city council.[3][4]
The blue colour depicts waves of the Dnieper River, a prominent symbol of the city. The coat of arms, as the official emblem, occupies the centre of the flag. The white field symbolises purity of intent and the city's future.
