The yellow lion on a black field can be found flying in settlements throughout Ceredigion, and has been used by multiple establishments in the county, such as Aberystwyth Rugby Club and Ysgol Penglais School. Yet, as of 2019 the flag has not officially been recognised as the flag of Ceredigion by the Flag Institute. The flag depicts a lion 'rampant regardant' (looking backwards) or on a field sable.
