Based on what could be seen of the flag in the photograph, I made the
attached graphic. I know the logo is accurate, but I couldn't see all of the
inscription beneath.

Missing part is SJTU.

I added the "SJTU" to the flag, leaving blank, blue spaces in place of the
folds in the fabric of the flags.
Randy Young, 10 June 2015
The actual flag doesn't have those blank spaces; the are no folds to speak
of. It also doesn't have the "up" in "light your life". Instead it has more
space above those letters and around the edge, where only the white stripe
continues. I'm unsure how to mangle your image to bring that about, though; it
all seems slightly out of ratio but I don't know what's causing it.
I don't know what this flag is for, though. If the SJTU in question is the
Shanghai university it would hardly seem like a general AIESEC flag. Also, in a
general one, one would indeed expect the word "up" in that slogan; as it is, it
looks like a translation of the slogan's words from a different language.
There may also be an exclamation mark at the end of that line.
Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 10 June 2015
This time, I've increased the spacing between the letters in the "JOIN
AIESEC..." slogan so that the spacing of the lettering matches more closely what
I'm seeing in the photograph - namely, that the slogan begins under and slightly
before the "A" in the logo, and the exclamation point at the end of the slogan
comes right around the footsteps of the silhouette closest to the fly. I also
put more blue spacing between the logo and the slogan. I resized the overall
dimensions of the flag to 1:2 from the 3:5 that I had originally. Doing so also
allowed me to more accurately place the logo on the flag, leaving blue space
between the fly and the first silhouette, and giving me more room on the hoist
end to extend the white bar. Overall, I think this is probably the closest that
we're probably going to get.
I also agree with the idea that this is probably not the AIESEC corporate flag,
but more likely specific to one of their chapters, presumably at a university
whose initials are "SJTU." I think it's likely that the overall corporate flag
is very similar, probably just the logo on a blue field and without the slogan,
but we don't have any photographic evidence of that yet.
