Ilford is a brand of analogue black and white photography materials (esp.
film and paper), still trading under the ownership of British company Harman
Technology Limited since 2004 after a rocky history at the turn of the
century with the emergence of digital photography.
Much earlier,
since 1901 and up to the 1950s, the company used as its logotype an
ex-libris type emblem showing a seagoing paddlesteam ship in full sail
bearing a large flag with the word "Ilford" on it. The flag is deeply forked
but non-tapering, and very oblong; the text is set in sans serif capitals
and shows inked on paper-color background, usually as black on white:

I have
no information about an actual company flag, nor about the arms or flag of
Ilford town itself (it is located in northeast Greater London).
