"ISESCO (Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) was
established by the
Organisation of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in May 1979. ISESCO
is one of the largest international Islamic organizations and
specializes in the fields of education,science, and culture.
The idea first took shape in the minds of the leaders of the Islamic
renaissance movement at the dawning of a new age with the awakening of
Muslim Ummah. Since the middle of the 19th century and the beginning
of the 20th century, the prospect of creating such an organization
entertained the highest hopes of many reformers and leaders who called
for the achievement of Muslim reunification and orderly action in
order to serve the best interests of the Islamic nation. This
initiative was also set as one of the main objectives of Islamic unity
since it was first projected and reaffirmed in its new formulation
during the sixth decade of the 20th century. This idea finally took a
concrete form and the dream became reality during the Ninth Islamic
Conference of Foreign Ministers (held in Dakar - Senegal, 24-28 April
1978). In its Resolution No. 9/9-C related to the recommendations of
the First International Conference on Islamic Education. The Tenth
Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers (held in Fez - Kingdom of
Morocco, 8-12 May 1979) confirmed the above recommendation in its
Resolution relating to the establishment of an International Islamic
Organization for Education, Science and Culture."

I found this item while doing updates today, that noted from their Website that Turkey is not a member of ICESCO yet, while it is a member of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), (which ICESCO is a subsidiary organization body), but also that the organization had updated its logo again since the 2013 adoption. ICESCO updated its logo and name in 30 Jan. 2020 to the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO). You can see a table small version here briefly showing the main logo on the front of their web page here:

Its current flag is the
logo on a white horizontal flag as seen in the following pictures:

The logo of ISESCO, the "Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization," shown above, is used on a white field as a flag. However, a photo
shows an ISESCO flag which is all green with the logo in black outline, except
for the central yellow disc (which features a different style of calligraphy
than the one on the logo shown above.)
