The flag of UNESCO show its logo in white on UN blue, akin to most other
organizations of the UNO system. The logo is a stylized
Ancient Greek temple portico, with three stairs steps, seven columns and a
pediment, the columns being the letters "UNESCO" in a condensed (sans serif)
typeface set very loosely.

Jean Illel is a French poet and designer,
currently President of the Club of Poets and Artists at UNESCO (United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). On 10 December 1998, for the
50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Illel presented
the Universal Flag of Peace and Solidarity, a flag horizontally divided
black-white-red-yellow.
I have not found any reference to this flag on the UNESCO website. Therefore, I
believe Illel's flag has remained unofficial until now.

Note the similarity with the flag of the Miccosukee
Indian tribe flag in USA.
