7 August 2009 St Catharine's College of Cambridge University uses a flag with a red field,
yellow St Catherine's wheel. The
college website
shows the arms. A large picture is provided by
biannual newsletter, named after the symbol. An
old depiction of arms shows the wheel as merely the crest.

At
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:St_Catharine's_college_flag.jpg is a
not so good image of the same flag, or of an identical flag. Comparing with
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Catz_shield.svg,
http://www.heraldicneedlepoint.com/acatalog/info_52.html, and others, it
seems that the flag shows a stylized version of the arms — not only it lacks
black contour lines but also (more importantly) it shows eight, not sixteen
blades. In that regard, the break wheel on the flag looks more like

logo.
At
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Catharine%27s_College%2C_Cambridge the
colors of St Catharine's College are given as burgundy and pink, not
taken
from the arms.
