Overview

I am not only author of image, but also the designer of flag of Rannu parish.
Meaning of colors:
white - color of hope, green - color of nature (pinewoods), yellow - fields of cereal crops (Rannu parish is a good area for agriculture) and blue - lake Võrtsjärv (at west of Rannu parish).

There is also second meaning - The four seasons:
white - winter, blue - spring (snow in march, springwater) ,green - summer and yellow - autumn.

This flag was designed and manufactured in summer 1994 and it is an official symbol of Rannu parish (community). Adopted: 21 June 1994. Ratio: 2:3

Coat of Arms


from http://www.rk.ee/symb/ , located by Dov Gutterman

From http://www.rannu.ee/rannu.htm: Coat of arms. Blue refers to the lake of Võrtsjärv. Crown refers to the old story about Barbara von Tiesenhausen who was killed by her family after marring with man from lower class. Golden clover leaf refers to the agriculture.
