Loughran explains the colours as indicating German involvement and the interlocking circles as the two hemispheres connected by the fleet. He calls the funnel base buff, while the website image looks yellow. Rosanoski initially questions whether the flag forms the funnel top or merges into a narrow black top. The February 2001 website image shows the flag forming the top and a blue triangle replacing the letter. Nüsse’s flag dated 1993 confirms the triangle, but has a wider white band with the emblem confined to it.

The Nüsse-derived illustrations distinguish the old flag from the 1993 version. Hamburg Süd continued the Aliança brand after the sale, apparently including the livery; Rosanoski found no announcement of its absorption into the main brand through June 2010.
