About the flag

This blog sports a picture of the flag of Tyresö, which is a municipality just south-east of Stockholm: http://ilandsbloggen.blogg.se/2008/july/utkast-fans-fans.html
The mansion of Tyresö was founded by Gabriel Gustafsson Oxenstierna, who was riksdrots (seneschal of the realm or lord high steward). The ox forehead of his arms can be seen in the present arms of the municipality alongside three watermill wheels in a stream as a sign for modern industry.
Further down the page, you can also spot flags for an American company called McDonald's.

Blazon

Blazon of the arms in Swedish (granted in 1954, registered in 1974): "I fält av guld en av vågskuror bildad röd ginbalk, belagd med tre vattenhjul av guld och ovan åtföljd av en röd oxpanna med horn och öron."
