The negative space in the center depicts the letter "Y" and represents the intersection of the Gyeongbu Expressway and Namhae Expressway within the city, while the blue depicts the letter "S" while representing the Yangsancheon Stream and the Nakdong River. The green symbolizes the "strong spirit of the Yangsan people", while the yellow represents hope or the future inspired by the sun.
