[edit]DescriptionFlag of Kil.svg |
Svenska: Vapenflagga för kommunen Kil i Värmlands län, Sverige. Enligt rådande heraldiska normer och traditioner är den så kallade vapenflaggan den riktiga flaggan för svenska kommuner. En vapenflagga är i stort sett ett heraldiskt vapen omgjort till flagga. Den skall inte visa den yttre sköldform som vapnet har i sin vanliga form, men uppvisar annars samma motiv, med innehållet anpassat således att det väl fyller ut flaggdukens yta. Eventuella tillbehör runt skölden, såsom kronor, hjälmar eller sköldhållare utelämnas.
Vapenflaggan står i kontrast till inkorrekta flaggtyper, exempelvis sådana som visar en vapensköld uppå en enfärgad duk, eller logotypflaggor. Dylika flaggor är olämpliga ur bl.a. heraldiska, grafiska, vexillologiska och traditionsvårdsmässiga hänseenden – trots detta finns det ändå kommuner som nyttjar någon inkorrekt flaggtyp i stället för den korrekta vapenflaggan. I Sverige representerar ett kommunvapen och motsvarande flagga inte bara kommunen som myndighet, utan även som geografiskt område. Den heraldiskt korrekta kommunflaggan får, så länge det görs på rätt sätt, användas av allmänheten för att uttrycka kommuntillhörighet, och användaren behöver inte be om lov. Det som idag är Kils kommunvapen fastställdes ursprungligen av Kunglig Majestät den 19 december 1963 för Stora Kils landskommun, med blasoneringen "I fält av silver en blå kil.". I början av 1960‐talet ville denna kommun skaffa sig vapen, och vände sig därför till Riksarkivet. Kommunens egna förslag innehöll en blå kil som det centrala elementet, men Riksarkivet föreslog en förenkling som ledde till att kilen blev ensam vapenbild. Med heraldiska begrepp sägs vapenbilder som anspelar på namn vara talande, och (Stora) Kils vapen exemplifierar företeelsen klockrent. (Ortnamnet i sig lär syfta på en numera uppgrundad vik, där den äldsta sockenkyrkan låg.) Tinkturerna silver och blått knyter an till Värmlands vapen. Nyregistrering av kommunvapnet skedde hos Patent‐ och registreringsverket den 11 januari 1974 (med samma blasonering), med anledning av 1970‐talets kommunreform och nya regelverk gällande kommunala vapen. På intet sätt försvagades vapnets hänsyftning, när Kil blev namnet på den nya storkommun som tog över vapnet.English: The banner of arms of the municipality of Kil in Värmland County, Sweden. According to currently valid heraldic norms and traditions, the proper flag of a Swedish municipality is the so called banner of arms. A banner of arms is essentially a coat of arms in flag form. It must not show the outer shield shape that arms are usually shown with, but it otherwise features the same design, adapted so that the contents satisfyingly fill up the available area. Any contingent accessories around the shield, such as crowns, helmets, or supporters, are left out.
The banner of arms stands in contrast to certain incorrect types of flags, such as ones bearing logotypes, or ones displaying the coat of arms as an escutcheon upon a unicoloured background. Such flags are inappropriate from various standpoints, including but not limited to heraldic, graphical, vexillological, and traditionalistic ones. Despite this, some municipalities utilize incorrect flags instead of the correct banner of arms. In Sweden, municipal arms and their corresponding flags represent not only municipal authority, but also municipalities as geographies. The heraldically correct flag of a municipality may be used by the general public to express municipal identity, as long as proper procedures and customs are followed. The person flying the flag does not need acquire permission. What is today the arms of Kil Municipality was originally confirmed by the King in Council for the rural municipality of Stora Kil, on December 19th, 1963, with the blazon "In a field of silver, a blue pile.". In the beginning of the 1960s, this municipality wanted arms, and therefore turned to the National Archives of Sweden. The municipality's own proposal contained a blue wedge as the central element, but the National Archives proposed a simplification, which led to the wedge becoming the sole charge. The design is canting, as "kil" literally means wedge, while also being the Swedish term for the heraldic ordinary corresponding to a pile in English. (The toponym itself has to do with a former wedge‐shaped bay, where the oldest parish church lay.) The tinctures silver and blue are those also used in Värmland's arms. The municipal arms were registered anew for Kil Municipality with the Swedish Patent and Registration Office, on January 11th, 1974 (with the same blazon), by reason of the municipal reforms of the 1970s and changes to regulations regarding civic heraldry made during the same period. Considering the name of the (then) newly formed and expanded municipality, the canting aspect has in no way diminished. |
