I just found out that the OCA Flag has been changed (in 2006) here is a complete description (from the OCA website) of the logo and a graphic I made of the new flag. Also, the logo and flag of the South Asian Games. Also, a new, improved graphic I made of the Paralympic Flag used from Seoul 1988 thru Lillehammer 1994.
The OCA logo was officially approved and adopted during the 25th OCA General Assembly held in Doha on 2nd of December 2006.
The Council shall have its own Logo which will be as follows:
The logo of the council will be a bright sun in red with 16 rays and a white circle in the middle of the disc of the sun encircled by the Asian Dragon and Falcon with the Olympic Rings beneath followed by the text Olympic Council of Asia. The Logo of the OCA represents the OCA's personality of a "highly dynamic and challenging person"; a "Universal peaceful citizen" and a "Passionate Champion"
The Dragon, found in East & South East Asia represents:
The Falcon, found in the mountainous regions of Himalayas, South and Central Asia and also a big hobby in West Asia represents:
The Logo is the sole property of the OCA and a registered trade mark of the Council. It can be used in full or in part as per the requirement, with the prior approval of the President OCA.

I found the following provisions of the OCA Constitution that pertain to the OCA (Asian Games) Flag:

The Council shall have its own Flag which will be as follows: The Flag of the Council will have a white background with no border. In the centre it will have a bright sun in red with 16 rays and a white circle in the middle of the disc of the sun. Under the sun there will be interlaced rings in gold in a semi-circle. The number of interlaced rings will correspond to the number of Asian National Olympic Committees affiliated to the Council. The Flag will also have the five Olympic rings at the top and the words "Ever Onward" will also be shown with the Olympic rings. The Flag will be approved by the E.B. and the General Assembly. The Flag of the Council or any part of it will be registered as a trade mark and cannot be used for any purpose without the prior consent of the President, O.C.A. The Council's Flag shall be the sole property of the Council.
