The former General Council used until 2014 a blue flag with a slightly different logo - which was modernized in 2015 when General Councils were renamed to Departmental Councils - and the white wording "conseil / général / HAUTE-VIENNE" (photo, photo).
This logo was adopted in 2005, as a modernization of the previous logo, which had different style for the letters "hv" and three green bars.

Olivier Touzeau, 20 January 2019

The flag of Haute-Vienne observed in 2010 in Mézières-sur-Issoire was blue with the former logo of the department, and the words HAUTE-VIENNE / Conseil général below in Times New Roman white letters, judging from the lettering and the green parts that can be observed on GoggleStreetView (photo, photo, 2010).

The banner of the arms assigned by Jacques Meurgey de Turpigny and Robert Louis in Marques symboliques des départements français was used on 5 January 2019 during a Gilets Jaunes' demonstration held in Limoges (photo).
The arms, "Ermine a bordure gules a fess wavy azure", are composed of the "traditional" arms of Limousin, also designed by Jacques Meurgey de Turpigny and Robert Louis, charged with a fess wavy to symbolize river Vienne that crosses the department from east to west.
