New Arms and brand new flag adopted on May 20, 2008
Arms: a golden moose head on green.
The previous Arms were basically the same, but in the cartoonist rendition (by, beloved in Poland, Szymon Kobylinski).
The Heraldic Commission objected to that, hence the change of the Arms to more realistic ones.

Flag: yellow and green with the Arms in the center.
The new symbols designed by Mr.Andrzej Heidrich.
