Description

The city of Qiryat Yam (12 km north of Haifa) uses as flag a white logo on blue bedsheet.
Dov Gutterman, 15 April and 15 May 1999

Apart from the reported white logo on blue, the vertical logo is used on many other different colour backgrounds. Qiryat Yam is situated on the Haifa Bay coast (yam meaning sea), just north of Qiryat Haim and west of Qiryat Motzkin. Est. 1940 (as Gav-Yam). Local Council since 1955. Municipality since 1976, pop. 46,000, website here.

The above flag is unofficial but commonly used. The emblem is a (heavily touched up) image from the city website. Qiryat Yam is one of the HaQrayotin Haifa Bay area.
Dov Gutterman, 13 August 2001

The municipal emblem was published in the official gazette (Rashumot), YP 997, 28 February 1963 (at the time as Local Council).
Dov Gutterman, 4 September 2001

Municipality of Qiryat Yam still uses the white on blue as the most prequently used flag, but six (!!!) more variants are also in use.
