[[File:Red Funnel flag.svg|thumb|Red Funnel's house flag]]
Red Funnel's house flag was adopted in 1861. The design was inspired by the names of the company's early paddle-steamers, ''Sapphire'', ''Emerald'', ''Ruby'' and ''Pearl''. A simple rhyme was the guide to flying it correctly:<ref name="Adams RB"/><ref name="Red Funnel">{{cite web |url=http://www.redfunnel.co.uk/corporate-information/history/ |title=Red Funnel Company History |author=Red Funnel |access-date=23 August 2010}}</ref>
