The Regional council of Île-de-France modified its logo
(and subsequently its flag) in september 2019.
The word "Région" in blue was added to the former logo. See the logotype: [Graphical chart, regional official website].
The flag can be observed for example on the highschools of the region,
and in many occasions: photo (2018), photo (2023), photo (2024), photo (2024), photo (2024).

Region Île-de-France recently adopted a new logotype, looking like a simplification of the previous one, which had been adopted in 2000.
I could get from the Regional Council a new flag they just printed, white, with the logotype on the center. The logotype is all red and has
kept the eight-pointed "star" of the previous logotype.

The Regional Council of Île-de-France changed its
logotype and flag.
The former red-white-blue flower, which had been created in 1976,
has been abandoned, because it was only a geographical symbol of the
departements, and not a symbol of a Region whose main aim is
preparing the future. The new logotype is a blue whirling spiral with an
eight-pointed star, standing for the eight departments of the Region
and Europe.

Earlier flag of the Regional Council of Île-de-France - Image by Olivier Touzeau, 18 September 2017
The flag used before 2000 was white with the Regional council's logo, but
with the flower three times bigger than in the stand-alone logo.
In the first version of this logo, the central red device for
Paris was not a disk, but in the shape of the city of Paris.
