Government organizations use two kinds of logo-on-bedsheet flags (the Post Authority flag being an exception):

• White logo on blue (even if the original logo is multicolored). This type has been used until now by Israel Police, Israel Railways, Haifa Port [Authority], National Insurance Institute.
• Color logo on white. This type has been used by Israel Ports and Railways Authority, Airports Authority, Civil Guard (police volunteers), Department of Public Works.

Two more Israeli Government organisations' flags that I spotted lately, neither following the regular basic pattern:

• Prisons Service: emblem on green flag.
• Border Guard

White logo on a blue field. The flag is 2:3 with the emblem about a third of the flag length, situated in the upper part of the flag, making space for the inscription below. Image of the logo here at the Israel Antiquities Authority website.

The Antiquities Authority is responsible for all ancient sites in Israel. Its flag is blue with a white logo as can be seen in these photographs.

The flag used by the Ministry of the Environment shows the Ministry's emblem —green and orange leaves shaking hands with the Ministry's name below in Hebrew, Arab and English in black lettering— as can be seen in these photographs I took. Unfortunately the Ministerial website still uses its previous logo so I cannot make a GIF.

While visiting the Achziv National Park, I noticed some plastic flags, photographed here.
