The International Federation of Gymnastics is the governing body of
competitive gymnastics. Its headquarters are in Lausanne, Switzerland. It
was founded on July 23, 1881 in Liège, Belgium, making it the oldest
international sport organisation. Originally called the European
Federation of Gymnastics, it had three member countries - Belgium, France
and the Netherlands - until 1921, when non-European countries were
admitted, and it was renamed to its current name.

The protocol manual for the London 2012 Olympics
(Flags and Anthems Manual London 2012 [loc12])
provides recommendations for flag designs. Each
international federation and international
paralympics federation was sent an image of the flag, including the PMS
shades, for their approval by LOCOG. Once this was obtained, LOCOG produced a 60
x 90 cm version of the flag for further approval. So, while these specs may not
be the official version of each flag, they are certainly what the
international federation and
international paralympics federation believed the flag to be.

Last year Ian Sumner made some scans from the flag manual for the London
2012 Olympics (Flags and Anthems Manual London 2012) which provides
recommendations for flag designs of international sporting federations.
For International Federation of Gymnastics - FIG: PMS 3005 blue, PMS warm red,
PMS black.
