The logo is this image. I’ve seen both versions: in deep and in light blue, and don’t know which one is the right one (if any).

It’s a triangular flag with horizontal bottom, purplish blue with a dark blue border around it except in the hoist.

I understood that there was another similar flag to the one you described but as follows: A vertical tricolour, red, white and blue but this one had an emblem of a Scottish thistle centred in the white band. Do you by any chance know any thing about this flag.

I have a source which shows the Burns, Philp & Co., Ltd. houseflag as a regular r/w/b vertical tricolor with the thistle centered on the white stripe.
