This early 2010s photo shows a plain light blue flag reading ".fi"
here,
while lowercase letters at the fly side. This seems to be a previous
logo of the Finnish internet domain name authority, later than a similar one,
with a globe standing for the dot, apparenyly current as of 2012, and
previous to the current one.
The entity itself seems to have changed names and maybe I'm just too
sleepy right now, but I read the English Wikipedia twice and I still
don't know what is the difference between Ficora and Traficom — see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.fi.
The flag itself, as seen on the photo, seems to show the national flag
of Finland in negative space where the tops of the letters "f" and "i"
meet. [...]
I could not find any other version of this logo, either, although it's
very unlikely that it exists only in flag form.

I know I saw this flag in Turku harbour in the mid-2000s. I don't remember if I reported it to FOTW-ml back then.

The question on the difference between FICORA and Traficom
is that FICORA (Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority) (first
established as THK [Telehallintokeskus] in 1988) by combining the
regulatory divisions of the Finnish PTT (Posti- ja Telelaitos) agency
and that of YLE (Yleisradio) into a single agency, and adopted its
name in 2001. Afterwards, FICORA, the Finnish Transport Safety Agency
(Trafi), and certain functions of the Finnish Transport Agency were
merged to form the new Finnish Transport and Communications Agency
(Traficom) on January 1, 2019. FICORA regulated radio frequencies and
television broadcast permits, supervised the operation of Internet
service providers, and managed the .fi domain zone (hence the flag
design) and was headquartered in Helsinki.

The blue flag with white ".fi" set to the fly was never in question,
since it was being reported based on a photo, but rather the exact
geometry of that logo/monogram, [...] of which a flat diagrammatic depiction was not yet
found.
