Flag of Westfalen It is a yellow over blue over yellow horizontal triband
with the logo of the company in its centre.
The logo is a modified coat of arms of Westphalia, the Saxon horse
is looking really cute upon the shield. The shield is cotized in the company’s
colours. The shield is topped by a yellow plate, fimbriated blue, containing
the companies name in blue capitals. The “W” looks like a squareroot preceded
by a “V”. The logo is placed into a white rectangle.
