Region Île-de-France recently adopted a new logotype, looking like a simplification of the previous one, which had been adopted in 2000.
I could get from the Regional Council a new flag they just printed, white, with the logotype on the center. The logotype is all red and has
kept the eight-pointed "star" of the previous logotype.

According to a wire by AFP (Agence France Presse) dated
22/09/00, 18h34, the Regional Council of Île-de-France changed its
logotype and flag.
The former red-white-blue flower, which had been created in 1976,
has been abandoned, because it was only a geographical symbol of the
departements, and not a symbol of a Region whose main aim is
preparing the future. The new logotype is a blue whirling spiral with an
eight-pointed star, standing for the eight departments of the Region
and Europe.

I have seen the flag of the Regional Council of Île-de-France hoisted over the Lycée (High School) Fénelon in Paris. The field of the flag was blue and the letters white, making the flag much more visible than in its official version.
