I hoping you might be able to assist me on identifying this symbol, if you have ever seen it before, or know any specific organization that uses it. Any information on this symbol would be apreciated to make sure its not from some "Nationalist Socialist (Skinhead) movement, but rather some other strain of political socialism or communist group. Can you possibly assist me in finding out what this symbol means?
Steve Blast, 8 December 2014
I don't recognise this particular symbol, although the design of it certainly looks like many of the Socialist Rose designs, and the colours are reminiscent of Germany or possibly Belgium. Where did you see it? Any clue as to nationality?

One Tentative ID
Image from Jaume Ollé, 8 December 2014
When I visited the Blue Mosquee I can took a photo with the Turkey flag and two Unknown flags below it. Any ideas?

For me, the second one on the right looks like a variant of the flag of Istanbul.

Some Speculation
Images from Jaume Ollé, 9 December 2014
These photos shaow three flags: the Red Cross, Greece, and an unknown flag with horizontal light blue-yellow-light blue stripes, with perhaps has a seal in center. Any ideas?

Since Jaumá was the one that went to Athens, I would like to know where the flags in the photo were at, that is, a specific location, building or landmark that we can look for additional information.
Esteban Rivera, 13 December 2014
Both in Athens, but I'm unable to read any indication because all are in greek and furthermore I was in a bus. The other flag (probably B-W-Y-W-B) might be the Research and Informatics Corps.

Two unknown flags, probably military, seen in Athens, frame the Greek Flag. The first photo of gives the context of the shot, with a inscription that can give a reference, and the second photo is an detail of the flags.

Both in Athens, but I'm unable to read any indication because all are in greek and furthermore I was in a bus. The 1st (Y-W-R-W-Y) appears a military flag and might be the flag of the Medical Corps.
Jaume Ollé, 13 December 2014
The inscription is ΓENIKO NOƩOKOMEIO AƏHNΩN (General Hospital of Athens). The yellow flag looks like a flag of a state agency, authority or ministery. In the context of a hospital it thus has a reference to health. Perhaps Ministry of Health?

I'm trying to research a flag I've have for a very long time. It came from southern Ontario, likely Norfolk County, and Dominion Regalia couldn't determine for me what it was. I've had it 40 years, approximately, and I have no idea how long my uncle had it before me. Any advice you can give me on this is much appreciated.
Sean Murphy, 9 December 2014
I don't recognise this flag but the overall design looks vaguely nautical to me. I wonder if it might be the flag of a shipping line, although it is not one we currently list on FOTW.

This Flag appeared on the cover of the Magazine Vogue Bambini earlier in 2014. What is it?
