The logo showcases the geographical characteristics of the region.

On January 1, 2022: the municipalities of Heerhugowaard and Langedijk merged as one municipality of Dijk en Waard.

Both the former corporate identities of Langedijk and Heerhugowaard had the colours green and blue. In the logo of Dijk en Waard, these corresponding colours are visible. The blue and green colours merge into each other and represent land and water. The horizontal line stands for land and a wavey line for water. The region is characterized by its green polder landscape with surrounding water areas. In the Middle Ages, the inhabitants turned the swamp areas into fertile lands by digging ditches in between.

The font type of logo has been chosen by residents to ensure a strong, distinctive, innovative and recognizable appearance.
