Roy Stilling describes the red lozenge as the diamond-shaped Isle of Wight, with a small nick for the River Medina estuary. The design adapts International Code W; former ferries spelt WIGHTLINK in painted signal flags, substituting the house flag for W. Rosanoski notes that neither St. Clare’s photograph nor the company website shows the nick. Mitchell omits it from his funnel drawing but includes it in a separate emblem drawing. The St. Clare starboard view confirms the funnel, with the port-side design assumed, and shows a larger flag image on the superstructure.
