Democrats 66 (/Democraten 66/) is a social-liberal and progressive
political party in the Netherlands. Founded in 1966 (hence the name),
the party has participated in several coalition governments so far. It
is a member of the Liberal International and the Alliance of Liberals
and Democrats for Europe.

The flag of Democrats 66 is green, with the large inscription D66 in white set off-center, closer to the top. The ratio is 2:3, as stated at the party online shop The same design serves as the party logo, although the form is usually more oblong then. One of earliest photos currently found on the Web dates from 2010 and can be viewed here (image)
Above image is derived from images of the
party logo, available for download from the party website.

The original party flag had also displayed the logo in white on green
field, but the color shade was darker and the inscription was actually
*d'66*, as the party name was originally spelled Democrats '66
(/Democraten '66/). A different typeface was used as well, the
apostrophe having been placed so as to form the topmost part of the
letter *d* and the digits *66* made smaller and set into a
"superscript" position. While the logo was centered vertically, it was
placed so that its part comprising the vertical stroke of letter *d*,
the apostrophe and two digits be centered horizontally. The photos of
this flag can be found
here
and

and the photos of the party poster from the 1967 general elections
campaign, which also used this logo as the central feature, can be
found

The party also has a LGBT-related flag, derived from the Gay Rainbow
Flag by adding the party logo into the canton, with a white
fimbriation around. There are two variants of the design, one with
green field of the logo visibly darker than the green stripe, as shown
here,
here,
here and
here
and the other, with the same shade of green in both fields, as shown
here and
here.
Both variants are used together, as seen in the photo galleries from
Amsterdam Gay Pride 2014
as well as the
Amsterdam Gay Pride 2015:
and
Amsterdam Gay Pride 2016
