"The National Press Club is a professional organization and business center
for journalists and communications professionals. It is located in Washington,
D.C. Its membership consists of journalists, former journalists, government
information officers, and those considered to be regular news sources. Its first
meeting was held on March 12, 1908"

Its flag is a navy blue horizontal flag with the logo (http://s1.evcdn.com/images/edpborder500/I0-001/000/276/084-0.jpg_/national-press-club-84.jpg) in yellow and blue, as seen here: (source: Twitter account of the Italian
Embassy in the United States @ItalyinUS (https://twitter.com/italyinus).
However, there seems to be a variant pennant/gonfalon, seen in the background
of the same picture, featuring this version (http://s3.amazonaws.com/production.mediajoint.prx.org/public/series_images/3492/m-logo_medium.jpg) of the logo.

The gonfalon can be seen in several other photographs online, particularly in
photographs at
http://www.press.org/news-multimedia/galleries/npc-newsmaker-dr-herbert-pardes,
and
http://www.press.org/news-multimedia/galleries/npc-newsmaker-john-gage.
The gonfalon appears to have stripes above and below the seal,
gold-white-gold, fimbriated dark blue, with the gold stripes being roughly
one-half the width of the white stripe.
