White Flag Variant

There's a variant flag for CERN seen in this video (0:51):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kPw8Ab27iM&feature=youtu.be
It is a white square flag with thislogo in the middle, being and inverted color scheme to the one we currently have. The variant version of the logo does not have the outside square limiting the inner figures. I guess the organizing committee probably overlooked dimensions in flags, since all of the flags displayed in this parade are square.
