Category:Coat of arms of Ashdod (2016)

English: The Sails and Lion's Head is the current emblem of the city of Ashdod. In 2016, to mark the 60th anniversary of the city's establishment, Ashdod adopted a new symbol. The symbol represents a modern city and connects the past, using the lion's head, with one of the city's prominent symbols – the sails in the Thessaloniki

Jewry Square ("The Sails"), designed by Israel Hadany – colored in characteristic colors: blue – sea, green – sustainability, orange – energy, and brown representing the city's residents, and the lion's head in yellow – the color of the dunes and sands from which Ashdod grew.

The symbol, which won the competition out of 67 proposals, is the product of the design of Shmuel Yehuda Oish, from the "Kivun" branding firm in Ashdod. At the bottom of the symbol, alongside the inscription "Ashdod" in English, appears the city's original symbol."
