The post-reorganisation flag derives from an advertising logo based on the buff funnel, broad white band and black top. On blue are three horizontal oblong panels with ends sloping per bend sinister: the upper towards the fly, the centre towards the hoist, and the lower centrally placed. They may represent containers. Loughran and Brown 1982 show black, white and yellow panels, connected by white edging; the centre has a black frame and angled black ELLERMAN. A contemporary drawing reportedly from an actual flag instead shows separate dark-blue, white and orange panels, white edging on the outer panels and blue lettering. Brown 1995 shows separate red, white and blue panels, with white edging on the outer panels and blue lettering. These may represent changes or differing interpretations of sightings.
