The former flag of İpekyolu (photo, photo) was white with the municipality's emblem. "Belediyesi" means "Municipality". The first flag of İpekyolu (photo) was similar, but with the name of the municipality both in Turkish and Kurdish. "Şaredarîya Rêya Armûşê" means "İpekyolu Municipality" in Kurdish. The flag was also used with a slightly different emblem (photo).

The emblem features the sun, lake Van, two lions and a rug.
The sun represents freedom, light and the future.
The lion, a common element in the Hurrian, Urartian and Armenian iconography, represents power, nobility and justice.
The rug, representing the local tradition, culture and art, bears a motif believed to be the antidote to scorpion's venom and repelling evils.
The colors of the emblem represent the soil fertility and lightness.
