Another flag was photographed in Amsterdam on 2009-08-01. It had dark blue field and the letters in white and orange; there are also narrow orange stripes along the top and bottom edges. Since the typeface was the same as on the present flag, or very similar, and the colors were basically those of the 2002 flag (except the shade of blue, which was much darker), it is possible that this flag was a transitional variant, used between the 2002 flag and the rpesent one.

The VVD (Volkspartij Voor Democratie, People's Party for Democracy) is the main liberal political party in the Netherlands, founded in 1948. Until some months ago it was part of the "Pink Coalition", together with the PvdA (Socialist) and D'66 (the leftist liberals), but in the past 90 days it was part of a center-right coalition, together with the CDA (the main confessional party) and LPF (Lijst Pim Fortuyn), a rather rightish populist party. The VVD-logo is at the party's website. I used it for the reconstruction of a flag I saw lying on the flour on the news.

There is also an LGBT-related flag, which places the current logo on a white square canton (size equal width the 1/2 of the flag width). Its photos from the Amsterdam Gay Pride 2013 can be found here, here, here and here (near the top right corner of the photo)
