Spirit of 2010 flag

[Another] flag is "Spirit of 2010", which is a way of displaying an interest in the 2010 Olympics without using the Olympic symbols. I have seen this flag in several places. "2010" is spelled out in Blue-Yellow-Green-Red numbers, and "Spirit of" is also in Blue (so Black is missing from this flag, perhaps in a conscious attempt to avoid Olympic copyrights).
