The logo of El Corte Inglés, the Spanish department store chain, uses an unmistakable triangular pennant shape, green with white lettering, though the company flag is rectangular, with the logo on white.

I have never seen a white flag with the green pennant-like logo on it in any of El Corte Inglés' stores in Spain. All of them display (in big numbers) flags made up of interleaved green and black triangles – as the putative flag suggested by António – with several of the triangles – about half of them – being hidden by a larger triangle showing the logo.

Hm, then this flag must be the only original thing about the Portuguese branch of El Corte Inglés... ;-)

The flag Santiago mentions is displayed at "El Corte Ingles" in Uria street, Oviedo (Asturias), the town where I work, together with the Spanish flag and the Asturian flag. Unfortunately, I can not say 100% the number of small white/green/black triangles is the same as in this drawing, as the street is usually not windy and I have not seen tha flag waving totally. But the pattern is right.

Shopping bags, wrapping paper and other items are patterned with black and green triangles interleaved with white ones, suggesting a nice pattern for putative flags.
