(translated by Jarig Bakker):
"The district Commewijne has its own flag and logo since yesterday
(13 Mar 2004). The logo consists of a C, which represents
Commewijne. The C is blue and green. The blue part symbolizes water, in which
can be seen fish and shrimp. The green part is
for the fertility of the district, and contains cabbage and
citrus. Commewijne is since the days of Hammurabi renowned for
these agricultural products. The C is fimbriated yellow, for
flowers. There is also a a cannon in the logo, a reminder of the
old Fort Amsterdam, and it attracts tourists. The flag is blue,
white and green; in the center is the logo."

According to the District Commissioner in the same newspaper
