Background

Libreville is the capital and largest city in Gabon, located in west central Africa. The city is a port on the Komo River, near the Gulf of Guinea on the Atlantic Ocean.

Description of the flag

The flag of Libreville as seen during a session of the Libreville Municipal  Council in July 2015 is white with the municipal coat-of-arms occupying 4/5 of the height in full colour in the centre (as seen here and here).

The arms show a mural crown and has as supporters two heraldic sea lions Or, langued and armed Gules and holding staffs with the national flag of Gabon (a tricolour Gold, Green and Blue).  A motto is also included
"Libertas Ex Amicitia Nascitur".  The arms symbolise the geographic location by the sea and the Equator. The chief stands for the peaceful co-operation between the European and Gabonese communities.

The sea-lions are a symbol of the port, the flags carried by them makes clear that Libreville is the capital of the republic.

There is also a version showing the name of the city in black letters below the Arms (as can be seen here).
