This week I saw two flags in Newcastle which we don't appear to have on the
website yet.
Firstly, flying above the Hancock Museum at the University of Newcastle upon
Tyne, a banner of arms of the university. The flag is blue with a
white cross of St Cuthbert with a red lion on a white chief. The blazon is:
argent in chief a lion passant guardant gules, on a field azure a Saint Cuthbert
cross argent.
Secondly, the flag of Newcastle City Council - a logo on a bedsheet. On a white
background, the word "Newcastle" above the words "City Council" "right
justified" in smaller letters. To the right of the writing is a stylised picture
of a castle. I couldn't make out reverse of the flag. You can see an example of
the logo, including the correct font for the words at
