Municipal flag of Ajdovščina - Image by Željko Heimer, 15 February 2005

The flag used in Ajdovščina is not official; it might have been used since 1980. It shows the emblem of the municipality. The flag can be seen on the municipal website. The municipal statutes adopted in 1999 prescribe a flag and coat of arms to be adopted by a subsequent Decision, which, apparently, is yet to be adopted.

Emblem of Ajdovščina - Image by Željko Heimer, 15 February 2005
The emblem of Ajdovščina is prescribed by Decision Odlok o znaku Občine Ajdovščina, adopted on 20 November 1990 and published on 28 December 1990 in the local official gazette Uradno glasilo občin Ajdovščina, Nova gorica in Tolmin 12/1990.
The Decision prescribes that "Republika Slovenija" shall be written above the emblem; however, it seems that this inscription is never included in practice.
Stanič & Jakopič [j2s05] write that the emblem symbolizes the antiquity of the town. The ruins represent the Roman town Ad Fluvium Frigidum (At the Cold River). The green waves represent the north-eastern wind (burja) and the fertility of the valley. The shades of green are, according to the HKS system: light green 67K, green 65K and dark green HKS 64K.
