"The Valle University adopts a flag design possing as a
basic feature a great symbolic force, giving red as a
representative color. The flag design shows three equalsized
vertical bars, in order: red, white, red; representing the three
basic activities of the University: Teaching, Research and
Extension. In the central white bar the Logo is placed in
red. The flag must be used in every important events for the
University as one of its representative symbols".
Carlos Thompson, 27 May 2003
The logo of the university, shown on the flag, is presented on
the university
website as follows. "The logo is inscribed in a perfect
square with an inner structure made of nine square modules
forming the symbolic element "UV", which appears
inverted in relation with the square and colour scheme in which
it is inscribed.
The logo is complemented in its lower part by the name of the
institution, in Helvetica Bold font, placed above a thin red

"Colegio Eucarístico de Bogotá 'Villa Guadalupe'"
was founded on 20 January 1941 by nuns of the congregation of the
Mercederian Sisters of the Blessed Sacrement led by Mother María
de la Eucaristía Carmona. Founded on 20 March 1910 in Mexico
City by María del Refugio Aguilar Torres, Guadalupe Hernández
and María Olivares as "School of the Blessed
Sacrament", the congregation was canonically approved on 12
November 1922 by the archbishop of Mexico City as "Sisters
for the Blessed Sacrament Apostolate", and eventually
approved on 22 July 1948 by Papal "decretum laudis",
under its present name. The congregation has today 60 houses, 7
of them being located in Colombia.

The flag of the institute, as shown and described on the website
of the institute, "to be used with elegance and pride
during the community events", is horizontally divided
white-dark red ("vino tinto", lit., "red
wine").
White represents purity, reflecting an ideal of virtue and
integrity, to be reached through rectitude, honesty and loyalty.
Dark red represents a deep meaning of Eucharist (as the wine
shared by Jesus with the disciples during the Last supper) :
sacrifice and love to get liberation through solidarity.

"Escuola Normal Superior de Villavicienco" was
created on 20 December 1955 by the National Intendance of Meta
(Decree No. 321) as "Escuela Normal Rural de Meta Santa
Teresita del Niño Jesus".
The flag of the institute, according to a photo shown on the presentation
leaflet of the institute, is horizontally divided white- red
with the emblem of the institute in the middle.
The emblem of the institute, a white disk with a grey outline and
a thicker red border, shows two open hands surmonted by a torch
"going through" an open book. The base of the torch is
charged with three interlaced yellow, blue and red rings. The
name of the institute is written in red capital letters in the
upper part of the disk. The emblem shown on the flag shows minor
difference with the emblem shown graphically on the leaflet.

The Instituto Virrey Solis was founded in Bucaramanga on 3
February 1941 by members of the Franciscan Community. Its goal
was to provide poor children with a religious, moral and material
education. The first director of the Instituto was Friar Emilio
Bautista Lozano (1941-1944). The flag of the Colegio is
horizontally divided yellow-red with the coat of arms of the
Colegio in the middle. Yellow and green are the colours of the
municipal flag of Bucaramanga. Yellow stands for the treasures of
knowledge, science, feelings and values. Green stands for the
hope that the youth educated in the Colegio will build a new
society mainly based on justice and peace; green also staznds for
the love of nature, the legacy of the patron saints of the
ecologists, St. Francis of Assise. The crown above the shield
stands for the man who gave his name to the Collegio, the Virrey
Solis (the Sun Vice-Roy?), and symbolizes leadership. The collar
surrounding the shied has three knots symbolizing the three vows
of obedience, poverty and chastity done by the members of the
community that rules the Colegio. Over a background with the
colours of our flag (yellow and green), the cross symbolizes the
Christian denomiunation of the Colegio. An arm holding a torch
appears from the bottom of the shield, expression learning,
knowledge and enlightment. The scroll below the shield bears the
Colegio's motto Virtud y Ciencia (Virtue and Science),
which are the basis of the education in the Colegio. The anthem
of the Colegio has its third stanza dedicated to the flag of the
Collegio: "Como un campo de esmeralda que la aurora
en luz bano, verde y oro, sacro emblema nuestra ruta ilumino.
verde y oro! flota altivo Nuestro fúlgido pendón: Esperanza y
luz del cielo que ilumina el corazón!" (Like a field
of emeralds Bathed in the light of dawn, Green and gold, sacred
emblem illuminate our way Green and gold! May our ? banner flay:
Hope and light of the sky Which illuminate the heart!).
