seen at <www.acodesi.org.co>.

The flags of the colleges, shown on a map of Colombia in the
refered link, are simple but elegant. All of them are represented
with proportion 2:3.
Ivan Sache, 3 June 2001
The original source for the flags without emblems, which does
not seem to be available any longer, was a map of Colombia
showing the location of the institutes and, very incidentally,
their miniaturized flags. I guess that "flags" were
added on the map to give a colour touch more than to add precise
information. Accordingly, "colours" might have been
selected, removing the more complicated elements.

The cartoon image of the flag suggests a very long ratio,
wider than 1:2, and a smallish emblem, about half the flag
height.
