The banners apparently existed in four colours; though the Olympic symbol is in
six colours it's rare to see a design repeated in all six of them; if using
the same shades as the flag, banners usually seem to be white on red, green, or
blue, and sometimes on yellow. In this case, it appears banners with a red field
were most prominent, possibly for having the same field colour as the flag of
the Soviet Union. I wonder whether for flags, this meant only the red version
existed, or whether it just again was the most prominent.

I found a pic of the banner of the Moscow Olympic Games in 1980. The logo
may (or is) bigger on my drawing than the real thing, but this is what it
looked like. The banner was used at the openning cerimonies at the Moscow
Games, a red banner, with the logo in white. I got the picture from a site
that dealt with the 1980 games.

I saw photos of analogous banners of all colours of olympic movement (green,
blue, yellow, red… but without black).

The 1980 (Moscow) Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXII
Olympiad, has its own flag, seen
here. (vertical flag, very similar as those posed by Zachary Harden. It is a
vertical red flag featuring the
logo on the upper part.

I have decided to improve the vertical flag image. I tried to match it close to
flag seen here as much as possible.
