The colors and motives of these flags follow the bus livery and in
general the company’s corporate
image.

Apparently, the thickness of each ring is identical to the distance
beween the flag edge on top and bottom and the logo. The overall ratio
seems to be 2:3, matching the national flag.

In Lisbon buses and tramways do not usually
carry flags, apart from one or two turism street cars. However, recently
the Lisbon urban transport company (Companhia dos Carris de Ferro
de Lisboa) celebrated its 150th anniversary and all the buses were
decorated with a pair of small crossed flags on the front roof. These
were: the “civil” municipal flag,
white over black gyronny, no arms, and the company’s logo flag, two
large rings, white and blue, on yellow.

This flag has been in intermittent usage in some special holidays and
seasons, crossed sometimes with the municipal flag (always
without the arms) and others with the
national flag.

Following its certification for 2006
as ISO 9001 compliant, Lisbon bus company Carris fitted the rooftops of
its fleet with company flag crossed with a black on white LOB of the
certifying company (Apcer) and management system (IQNet) logos.
ISO 9001 award flags (used by the certified companies) are usually yellow
(at least in Portugal) and indeed Carris facilities show a regular ISO
9001 award flag, which is almost indistinguishable from the company flag.
Perhaps for that reason, and for its small size (20×30 cm), this atypical
design was chosen.
This month, June 2006, in support of the national team at the World Soccer
Championship, again national flags crossed with company flags adorn the
Lisbon bus rooftops, but now the company flag, its small size
notwithstanding, has the certifiers's logos in dark blue at the bottom
fly.

The official company flag, hoisted at the company facilities, includes
the lettering and a much smaller logo, a motive for our vexillological
sorrow.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 12 Jun 2004
This usage seems to have vanished. Lately the only flag in use in
company facilities is the one with the big logo, lacking
the small letter when used in small format.

The flag with the previous logo on a bright orange background is apparently
still flying atop the Santa Justa Elevator (a commuter facility in Lisbon that
works like a normal vertical lift, unlike the other three Lisbon
“elevators”, which are funiculars — was built in the late
19th. cent. by the same team that designed the Eiffel tower in Paris). I
supposed it out of use after the new logo was used, since 1997 (by then new
buses were recolored yellow instead of the previous orange).

Logo on white background was an often vatiation.
