## Description of the flag

HEP (website) is the state-owned company running the power plants and power supply systems.

The company has since changed the flag design twice. The current flag retains the red/blue lightning bolt symbol with the name HEP, now on a white field with a chequered gray-scale pattern down the hoist.

First flag

In the early 1990s the company ran a contest for a new logo, which was won by a young female student in architecture with a rather well-designed graphical identity including not only the logo but a also a flag that is not just a logo on on a white field.
The logo of the company consists of a square divided by a symbolic white thunderbolt into red and blue parts. The flag is made of this logo within a white border, but with the blue part enlarged so that it fills out the rest of the flag. In the blue part in the lower fly is the company "cypher", the italic letters "HEP" outlined in white.
The flag is, as a rule, hoisted on the power plants and on the company administrative buildings that exist probably in each County capital, at least. I have seen the flag in Zagreb, Opatija, Korenica, Gospić, Varaždin and over several power plants.
