On 15 December, 1997, a part of the town, Zichyújfalu, left
Gárdony and became an independent village again.

Yesterday I visited this town, and I have seen the real flag
on Town Hall building. It is yellow with its Coat of Arms, and
name of town above it. Proportion of this horizontal
version is 1:2. Blue color of Coat of Arms is lighter than it is
shown above.
Regulation text does not mention its orientation (horizontal or
vertical), and there is no reference on its proportions. So, I
draw the horizontal variant what I have seen
hoisted on Town Hall.
