The Montreal Olympic flag had a white logo on red background. The logo was
created by Georges Huel. It was used on flags, banners and table flags, according
to an article in Vexilla Belgica by François Beaudoin (1982).

There was also another variant in 1:2 with "Montreal 76" underneath the logo.

I checked Souvenir program I have of the 1976 Olympics and the few photographs of the flag (including the cover) show it indeed in a 1:2 ratio (without inscription), probably so it would look nice next to the Canadian flag. So is the Olympic flag incidentally.
As the one I mentioned is based on a photography of an actual one, this variant
might simply exist as table flags, maybe even as the used by the candidacy committee
before 1976.

At
http://www.ebay.com/itm/351013086160 is an offer for a small flag of the
1978 Olympics. It's apparently yet another variation, as
according to the
seller it's approximately 3:5. Design-wise it's the style with the text
underneath, but in this case it's the French text: Montréal 1976.

A table flag, described as ca. 3:5; just the emblem and a copyright symbol.

Souvenir pennant. Though it's in English, it does write "Montréal". Since none
of the flags in this message show "Montreal" without accent, I'm beginning to
wonder whether such flags really existed.
