Ilford is a brand of analogue black and white photography materials (esp. film and paper), still trading under the ownership of British company Harman Technology Limited since 2004 after a rocky history at the turn of the century with the emergence of digital photography.

Much earlier, since 1901 and up to the 1950s, the company used as its logotype an ex-libris type emblem showing a seagoing paddlesteam ship in full sail bearing a large flag with the word "Ilford" on it. The flag is deeply forked but non-tapering, and very oblong; the text is set in sans serif capitals and shows inked on paper-color background, usually as black on white:

I have no information about an actual company flag, nor about the arms or flag of Ilford town itself (it is located in northeast Greater London).
