The ConocoPhillips corporate flag can be seen in the following
photograph online (http://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/news-photo/conocophillips-flag-flies-outside-of-the-companys-news-photo/468159776)
outside the company's Houston headquarters. The flag consists of the corporate
logo centered on a white field. The logo itself features the company's name in
black lettering with a red mark above the point where the two words join.

Did ConocoPhillips have a different flag (earlier version) using both former
logos of Conoco (http://logonoid.com/images/conoco-logo.png)
and Phillips (http://www.phillips66.com/EN/newsroom/request/logos_identity/conocophillips/PublishingImages/p66-components.jpg
and
http://www.phillips66.com/EN/newsroom/request/logos_identity/conocophillips/corporate/Pages/IncorrectUse.aspx)
either separately or together on a single flag?
And while we're at it, is
it possible the 76 (former Union 76) chain of gas stations (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/76_(gas_station)) which is part of
Phillips66, has a flag too?

Union Oil
Company of California (UNOCAL) was founded in 1890 in Santa Paula,
California. In 2001, UNOCAL merged with Phillips Petroleum Company... a year
before they themselves merged with Conoco. Beginning in the 1960s, UNOCAL
became the official fuel provider of NASCAR, which
gave them the right to appear on the winner's
checkered flag.
There's an interesting graphic at

energy
companies relate to each other through mergers,
