The funnel has a black top above a broad blue band on white. Its blue was a special mixture, presumably related to Blue Funnel’s shade, though Talbot-Booth shows it as dark as the flag. Sources vary in band depth. The flag’s diamond is variously small, nearly throughout or wholly throughout; the latter is supported by the company’s March 1990 advertisement. Rosanoski questions Elsevier’s thin white line between black and blue as a possible reproduction error. Whether the flag survived the last name change is unknown.
The National Maritime Museum variant is dated 1955–1967 and measures 838.2 × 1,168.4 mm.
