Flag Description: The flag is vertically divided into two equal halves, white on the left (hoist side) and green on the right. Centered on the flag is the complete coat of arms of the municipality. The blue shield depicts a golden horseshoe on a green hill with a white wavy bar, and above it, a white dove in flight holding a gold ring in its beak. Above the shield rests a helmet with a crown and a crest featuring the same white dove with a ring. Mantling is red-gold on the left and blue-silver on the right. Beneath the shield, a golden ribbon displays the text 'GYŰRŰS'.
Symbolism: The ring held by the dove is a canting element referencing the name of the municipality, as 'gyűrű' means 'ring' in Hungarian. The dove symbolizes peace, while the horseshoe represents good fortune and agricultural heritage. The green hill with a wavy bar reflects the surrounding hilly landscape of Zala County and its local streams. The white and green field colors derive from the primary tinctures of the coat of arms.
