Some time the Portuguese Olympic Committee had changed its logo
(and its name too, from «…Português» to
«…de Portugal»?…) — perhaps one year ago or so. You can see
the new logo at their site, under seemingly eternal construction, at
www.comiteolimpicoportugal.pt
— actually you can see the logo and nothing more.
I haven’t seen it yet on flags (now being the low season for olympics
in a country without winter sports), but I must assume that new flags
exist, with this new logo on white.

The Olympic movement rules require the national olympic committees’
flags to include the Olympic rings not larger then 1/3
of the flag.

That’s perhaps why the Portuguese O.C. changed its logo and
flag: the previous flag had the olympic emblem much larger than
1/3 of its height…
