The Jewish Agency for Israel was established in 1929 as The
Jewish Agency for Israel-land in order to coordinate the various
Zionist and Jewish organizations, but in time it became the
executive body of the World Zionist Federation and later became the de-facto government of the Jewish
population in Palestine-Israel-land.
As Israel became independent in 1948, it removed this role to the
government of Israel and now it deals with new-immigrants,
education and settling.

From what we can see at the bottom of https://www.jewishagency.org/board-of-governors/,
the Jewish Agency is a sub-agency of the WZO. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Jewish-Agency
mentions this fact, along with a book published by the US Library of Congress.
At the same time it's also more than just a sub-agency. With the reconstitution of 1971 the JA got a more
international and partly independent character, its Board of Governors has been made up since also of
non-Zionist and non-Israeli representatives. This gives the JA a mixed form of its own nature.
The JA has had a logo and flag change from what we can see at
https://www.jewishagency.org/ulpan-etzion/.
It just seems to be a color change (from turquoise to red/orange); when it happened, we have no idea.
The pictures on this page show also a graphical change between 2007 and 2021, the logo has been simplified
slightly.
