Symbols

Coat of arms and flag

The county's coat of arms was recreated in 1991 from the coats of arms of the former Jászkun periphery, with the crown and frame decoration on it. It consists of the unification of the coat of arms of Jászság, Nagykunság and former Exterior-Szolnok County. The upper part is divided into two equally spaced vertices from top to bottom.^[2]

The upper-left field is a natural colored stork, on a silver (white) background. It means the formerly Exterior-Szolnok County.

The top-right coat of arms shows a dark brown lion, with red crescent and star above it, on a gold (yellow) background. It means the Nagykunság.

Bottom, with the coat of arms is divided into two parts and it is divided into a lower part in a blue box on a white-knight fighter, his right hand with the Lehel's horn, his left hand holding a shield. It symbolizes the Jászság.

Above the rider, three wavy silver bars represent the three rivers (Tisza, Zagyva and Körös) of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County.

The flag is vertically divided into two equal sections (blue and white), with the coat of arms on it, and the county's name embroidered with gold thread under the coat of arms. Its ratio is 2:1. The use of both coat of arms and flag is regulated by the county council.^[3]
