At Ebay, there's an offer for: 1986 Birmingham Bid for the Olympic Games
1992 large Flag. In this case it's a blue flag (1:2?) with white imagery: centred joined
Olympic rings superimposed with a an Olympic torch, superimposed with
three lines saying: "BIRMINGHAM", "1992", "THE HEART OF GOLD".
There are stripes flanking the second line, suggesting that this is a
mono-colour of an actual multi-colour design. Does anyone have more
information, so I can go to the bank as I intended, rather than spend it
looking up the non-existent 1992 Birmingham Olympics?

That's certainly the logo of the Games bid in 1992. But I've only ever seen it as a full coloured logo, not as a flag.
Olympic rings in the usual colours, the v-shaped whatever-it-is (the City Council's then logo IIRC) blue and red, torch grey/white, the single line blue,
the double line blue over red. But the slogan is absent from the copy of the logo I've seen.

Brumpic treats the Olympic bid, including the colour
image. It doesn't seem to be exactly a flag in that photograph, but the image
is clear. Indeed, no slogan. I guess this may be due to exact rules at
that time for Olympic bid and other flags.
