Logo Flag

Nanaimo has replaced its banner of arms with a letterhead on a white sheet. The logo can be found on the city's website and spells out "City of Nanaimo" in large capitals, and "The Harbour City" in smaller letters underneath. The flag is 1:2, and there are definitely two shades of blue in the logo.

I don't think the flag has been officially replaced; the "city emblems" page at http://www.nanaimo.ca/EN/main/municipal/city-council/TheCitysEmblems.html still shows the banner of arms under "city flag." The logo flag would appear to be an informal - or parallel-use - addition. The emblems page also shows a large version of the logo (which comes in two slightly different versions, labeled "City Logo" and "Community Logo", of which this is the former. The logo may echo the two blue waves in the shield.
