The flag logo of the PPS is at www.pps.com.br.
Dov Gutterman, 8 March 1999
The PPS is the main successor of the original Partido Comunista Brasileiro
(Brazilian Communist Party). The party was renamed in 1993 when a party
congress decided to drop Marxist-Leninist doctrine. At the same time
the hammer and sickle were removed from the party flag.
Joseph McMillan, 16 April 2001
The flag is defined in Article 5 of the party statute: "a red flag with the letters P, P, and S in golden yellow
(amarelo ouro). The PPS elected 15 deputies and one senator in the 2002 elections.

The party statute provides in article 81 that "The flag of the PSB has the colors yellow and red in two equal
horizontal stripes in that order and the inscription PSB." Article 82 adds that "The symbol of the PSB is the dove of peace by Picasso, flying to
the left, and it appears in the upper part of the flag."

I spotted the yellow and red flag during the 2000 Brazilian presidential
campaign.
Guillermo Tell Aveledo, 18 September 2000
The PSB is strongly leftist but more pragmatic than the PT. It
elected 22 deputies and 3 senators in 2002.

The Brazilian Socialist Party is, obviously, a socialist party and,
as also happens with the Portuguese Socialist Party, seems [as of 1999--ed.] to be thinking
about changing colors. The flag appears in two versions: (1) white on red
and (2) white with red lettering on a yellow-red degrade. However, according
to Carlos Noronha, and unlike what happens with the Portuguese party, only
one flag is used--red with the party logo in white centered. The logo consists
of the outline of a dove with a branch (of laurel? hard to tell but probable)
in the beak under the party's initials.

This one looks like a far-left party, small as they usually are all
over the place. I found an image on their website that has a "flaggy" character.
If this image corresponds to the flag, then it's a red flag with the initials
in yellow covering nearly all the field.
Jorge Candeias, 9 May 1999
The flag is at
the PSTU website. It isn't very clear, but it is quite simple. A rather
Marxist party.
Guilherme Simões Reis, 6 October 1999
Described in article 3 of the party statute as "a red flag ... inscribed on the field of the flag the upper case
letters P-S-T-U."

No seats in Congress.
