Today in the first public appearance of H.H. the Pope Benedict
XVI in a balcony it was still used the Coat of Arms of H.H the Pope John Paul II. This will probably
change in the next few days, when the new Pope would have its own
Coat of Arms.

I’m not 100% sure that Pope Francis also has his own papal pennant, I haven’t
found any picture of it.

The coat of arms is the same as the cardinal's coat of arms, the miter is the
same as that of Benedict XVI, and the keys are the same as those of John Paul
II.
Luismi Arias, 18 March 2013
The papal coat of arms has undergone a few major adjustments to more clearly
reflect the symbolism of Mary and St. Joseph. The five-pointed star has been
replaced with an eight-pointed star, and the spikenard flower looks more like a
flower rather than a bunch of grapes, as it did in its original form.
The
Vatican published the new coat of arms on its website March 27, 2013.
