Since october 2019, a new version of the flag of Hérault has come into use, with a purple and rectangular frame (while the former green version had the lower edge curvy and parallel to the white central part): photo (2021), photo (2022).

Former flag of the Departemental Council of Hérault - Image by Olivier Touzeau, 17 February 2017
The flag [before 2019] of Hérault (photo) was white with the logo designed in 2015 by the communication service of the Departmental Council.
The logo (presentation) retains the blue "H" and the orange sun the former logo, which had been adopted 17 years before, but uses another font, with a different shape of light blue waves in the "H", adds a yellow map of the departement, and a big, green frame.

Flag of the former General Council of Hérault - Image by Ivan Sache, 27 September 2009
The flag of the General Council of Hérault, as hoisted in front of the building of the General Council in Montpellier, was white with the logo of the General Council.
The logo of the General Council of Hérault was a white rectangle framed in blue with a thick letter "H" tilted to the upper right corner of the rectangle, blue with the base light blue with two white waves (symbolizing for sure the Mediterranean Sea) and an orange sun concealing the upper left part of the "H". "Département / Hérault / Conseil Général" is written in blue letters under the "H", "Conseil Général" lying under the lower border of the rectangle.
