"In December 25, 1992 the session of the town council
approved the gonfalon: a rectangular canvas with a ratio of the
sides: 1:1. The width of the top part is 3/10 of width of the
gonfalon and it's yellow; the bottom part(7/10 of width) is dark
blue. In the top part there are three green sycamore leafs, in a
bottom there are three yellow triangles in two lines, one above
the other."

"On the 25th of December 1992 town council session confirmed
a modern emblem: in the azure field three or equilateral
triangles in two rows (one above the other two), in the or chief
three vert sycamore leaves in one row. The small or pyramids
symbolize sulfur extraction and the sycomore leaves - the name of
the town. The author is A.Grechylo."

"City in Lviv Oblast. It was founded as the workers'
settlement. The first name was Yantarne. Since 1986 it has the
status of a town."
Phil Nelson, 7 July 1999
The sycamore leaves (if that is indeed the name of the tree,
I'd guess simple "mapple" would be better translation)
recalls the name of the city - "yavor" (or similar
root) means mapple tree (as in the Canadian
flag!).
The other thing is much more strechy - the old town name Yantarne
might be connected with "yantar" - amber. The yellow
trangles might refer to that?
