On November 2002. the Council of the Community decided on to
discontinue the using symbols of the village because they were
absolutely wrong by heraldry and didn't represent the past and
present of the settlement as required. The council decided on to
be make a new Coat of Arms and flag. The council of the community
charged Mr. Tamás Mógor designer to design and make the new
symbols.
The CoA of the village is a shield divided horisontally and the
top field is divided vertically. The first field is divided by
red and silver. On the left right field there is a gold wheel. On
the bottom blue field there is a sitting silver pelican feeding
its three youngs with own blood. The first red-silver field -
equal of the right field of the Hungarian CoA - relates to the
old Hungarian village and the patriotism of the people of the
village. The gold wheel relates to the first known seal of
the village from the 18th century. (The wheel was the symbol of
the Káta Clan at the time of the Kings of the Árpád House
(10-14th c.), but the connection of the clan and the village is
unknown). The silver pelican on the bottom field reates to the
devotion and self-sacrifice of the inhabitants of the village in
the past. And the pelican is a part of the CoA of the Batthyány
of Németújvár family from 1500. The Batthyány family
was the landlord of the village from the 18th century to 1849
(Lajos Batthyány the first Hungarian prime minister's
execution).
The flag of the village is blue-white with the CoA. The colours
relates to the CoA of the Batthyány Family. Below the CoA there
is a gold inscription: BAKONYTAMÁSI. The new CoA and flag will
be sanctified in 25 March 2003 on ecumenical ceremony.
