IMSO Flag

FOTW records the c.2015 new flag and logo of the International Mobile Satellite Organization (IMSO) that I related to the group some years ago. However, as the 2023 photos on the IMSO's website show in relation to the new director-general taking office as can be see here and the current director with the new French ambassador to the IMSO. I looked for the adoption of the new logo and i did not find anything helpful. I would say that this new logo was adopted 2022 to 20023.

[The IMSO website] doesn't say when the design was created but in any case the logo was published on their website on September 15, 2023.

Flag adopted ca.1990

The flag (as shown as a logo of the current private co Inmarsat can be seen at http://www.inmarsat.com/). It is similar to Intelsat where the operations were spun off into a private company and the international organization emerged with a new acronym and a new role supervising the private companies international treaty obligations.

Flag used between 1979-ca. 1990

I am pleased to confirm that the logo you have attached is indeed our "flag". I attach in two versions. Inmarsat had two different flags - which I will try to locate and send to you - "old logo" [shown here] is the one from 1979 up to around 1990. I will have to scan the interim logo and send it to you. If you need anything else, please let me know.
