AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND 1950
IV British Empire Games

Empire Games Flag
CEREMONAL/FEDERATION FLAG
The earliest photograph taken of this flag was at the Auckland Games. With the host cities embazoned on this flag, it is surmised that this flag was used at the earlier Games, though no evidence has surfaced that it was used at the Inaugural Games in 1930.



HOST NATION'S FLAG


EMPIRE FLAG
The Union Jack was carried at the front of the procession of nations and the oath of amateurism was taken upon this same flag



1950 GAMES LOGO
The Winged Foot 'logo' was widely used on posters and events booklets during the Games,
as well as on the post-Games book, but did not appear on any flags, medals, or on the victory podium.
Still, the fact that it was used widely on 1950 Games literature makes this emblem a representative logo.
