Flag of Gennes-Val-de-Loire

The flag of Gennes-Val-de-Loire (photo) is white with the municipal logo.

The logo represents "gentle way of life" on a territory watered by river Loire (3 out of 5 [at the time] former municipalities are located on the river), but also economic and tourist dynamism.
The Loire is symbolized by the two smooth waves, represented in two shades of blue.
The natural environment is represented by an hyphen shaped like a green life, while dynamism is represented by ascending curves.
Modern, sans serif fonts (ITC Avant Garde Gothic family) are appropriate for an institutional logo deemed legible, serious and attractive.
The colors are specified as follows.

                 Pantone      CMYK           RGB
Dark blue         641 C     88 45  20 0    40 106  48
Median blue      2925 C     80 25   0 0    45 146 211
Lighter blue      297 C     50  0   0 0   142 206 244
Green             375 C     50  0 100 0   148 196  31
