Summary
About the place: Brno-Ivanovice is a municipal district situated on the northern outskirts of the statutory city of Brno in the South Moravian Region. It has a predominantly suburban residential character, combining a preserved historic village core with modern residential housing.
Flag Description: A blue field charged with a white trotting horse accompanied below by a white horseshoe. The ratio of the flag's width to length is 2:3.
Symbolism: The flag is directly derived from the historical coat of arms and village seal of Ivanovice, which featured a horse (corroborated by old village seals and local toponyms such as 'Na kobylce'). The horse represents strength, movement, and the agricultural and carting heritage of the village, while the horseshoe symbolizes good fortune, protection, and the blacksmith trade. The blue field provides the traditional heraldic contrast for the silver (white) charges.
