On June 11, 1976, the club's flag was approved. It was a white cloth with a blue St. Andrews cross; over the cross was depicted a red stylized compass needle, and above all a black globe with golden parallels and meridians (as seen here: http://www.vexillographia.ru/images/rcfg1.gif).

In 1984, the PVC was reorganized as the Vexillology and Heraldry Club (VHC) (Клуб вексиллологии и геральдики (КВГ). The VHC had its own flag: it was a red cloth with a narrow blue wedge, located on the diagonal of the flag; The top of the wedge was in the lower pole of the panel. On top of the blue wedge was an even narrower white wedge. The length of the panel is twice that of its width., as seen here: http://www.vexillographia.ru/images/rcfg2.gif

In 1991 the VHC evolved into the Russian Center of Vexillology and Heraldry (RCFH) (Русский Центр флаговедения и геральдики, РЦФГ) and a new flag was adopted which is the one still used. The flag is a rectangular panel consisting of 5 rays radiating from the lower corner of the flag as wedges of the colors of the Russian national flag - white, two blue and two red. The length of the flag is 1.5 greater times its width. The flag is seen here: http://www.vexillographia.ru/images/rcfg.gif.The Latin letter "V" formed by the blue wedges of the flag is the international symbol of Vexillology. The author of the flag is Mikhail Vladimirovich Revnivtsev."
