A territorial mark, “IN Seine-Saint-Denis” (website), was launched by the Departmental Council in 2016. The matching flag (photo) is white with the logo.

The logo ,designed by Gonzague Lacombe, was chosen during summer 2016.
The department of Seine-Saint-Denis wishes, with this mark, to show the vitality of its territory, through all the positive initiatives and all the evidences of its success.
