English: Banner of arms of the Virginia Colony, based on those of the Virginia Company granted between 1619 and 1624 and altered with the Union of 1707:

Argent, a cross gules, between four escutcheons, each regally crowned proper, the first escutcheon in the dexter chief, the arms of Great Britain (England and Scotand, impaled); the second in the sinister chief the arms of France; the third the arms of Ireland; the fourth the arms of Hannover (per point arched of Brunswick, Lüneburg and Hanover and an inescutcheon of the arch-treasurer of the Holy Roman Empire).

The arms thus combine the English national flag with the royal arms of Great Britain (combining England and Scotland), of France, of Ireland, and of Hanover in the same sequence as they are quartered in the royal arms of George I and of subsequent British monarchs. The Elizabethan flag of the Levant Company and the arms of the Newfoundland Company had similar designs, each combining the St George's Cross of England with elements of royal heraldry. The contemporary arms of Nova Scotia employ a similar combination of St Andrew's Cross with the royal arms of Scotland.
