The ISF flag is a white horizontal flag with the inscription on top
"INTERNATIONAL" (black capital letters), the
logo in the middle,
and on the bottom "SOFTBALL FEDERATION" in black capital letters, as seen in this
picture.

However, this seems to be the "old flag", since the ISF has a
new logo.

The new logo adopted on November 10, 2009. There is an article about adoptation of new logo:
