.fi Domain Flag (Finland)

Former Company Flag of Traficom

This early 2010s photo shows a plain light blue flag reading ".fi" here, while lowercase letters at the fly side. This seems to be a previous logo of the Finnish internet domain name authority, later than a similar one, with a globe standing for the dot, apparenyly current as of 2012, and previous to the current one.

The entity itself seems to have changed names and maybe I'm just too sleepy right now, but I read the English Wikipedia twice and I still don't know what is the difference between Ficora and Traficom — see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.fi.

The flag itself, as seen on the photo, seems to show the national flag of Finland in negative space where the tops of the leters "f" and "i" meet. Having redrawn the logo as it seems to be in a diagrammatic flat fashion, I cannot successfully recreate this illusion, so please help. I could not find any other version of this logo, either, although it's very unlikely that it exists only in flag form.

I know I saw this flag in Turku harbour in the mid-2000s. I don't remember if I reported it to FOTW-ml back then.

The question on the difference between FICORA and Traficom is that FICORA (Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority) (first established as THK [Telehallintokeskus] in 1988) by combining the regulatory divisions of the Finnish PTT (Posti- ja Telelaitos) agency and that of YLE (Yleisradio) into a single agency, and adopted its name in 2001. Afterwards, FICORA, the Finnish Transport Safety Agency (Trafi), and certain functions of the Finnish Transport Agency were merged to form the new Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom) on January 1, 2019. FICORA regulated radio frequencies and television broadcast permits, supervised the operation of Internet service providers, and managed the .fi domain zone (hence the flag design) and was headquartered in Helsinki.

The blue flag with white ".fi" set to the fly was never in question, since it was being reported based on a photo, but rather the exact geometry of that logo/monogram, which I fear I didn't redraw properly from the photo and of which a flat diagrammatic depiction was not yet found.
