During celebration of 50th anniversary of its establishment, the OECD adopted
a new logo and it is also used on its new flag. New logo is a blue disc charged
with white map of the continents (reducing the size of the Pacific Ocean), and
the two green and grey coloured arrowheads point towards the fly (instead of
hoist, as it was used on previous flag). The new logo was adopted on 15 December
2010.
