The emblem of the institute was adopted by Agreement No. 1 of 15 March 2014,

representing the techniques and trends of decorative aesthetics:

like a woman's silhouette, made of the Eiffel Tower, representing the first logo
of the institute and France ("Francia") superimposed with a woman wearing an
elegant sombrero, clad in white and outlined in magenta, representing subtlety,
elegance, glamour and beauty. Beneath the silhouette is an open book,
superimposed with two hands supporting the woman-shaped silhouette, meaning that
the institute is placed in God's hands.
The shield is surrounded by four scrolls attached to two staffs in the upper
part, meaning command, safety and strength. In the lower part is a golden yellow
plaque inscribed with "2005", the year of foundation of the institute as
Institución Educativa para el Trabajo y el Desarrollo Humano. The two scrolls
closer to the shield are green, while the two distant ones are magenta,
inscribed with the institute's motto "ESFUERZATE Y SE VALIENTE" (Work and Be
Valiant). The shield is surmounted by a white scroll inscribed with the
institute's name in black capital letters.

fertility, resistance, freshness, elation, calm, balance, harmony, hope, youth,
lightness, confidence, stability and economy.

A while ago in May I spotted the ESAP flag shown on TV during
the ceremonies for their 50th anniversary.
The ESAP (Escuela Superior de Administración Pública, Public
Administration Superior School) was established by Law 19 of
November 25, 1958 and traces its origins as a response to
several missions to the country made earlier, but mainly during
the regime of General Gustavo Rojas Pinilla (1953-1957), among
them a commission from the French Government (n.d), The Kemmerer
mission (led by prestigious Economist Edwin Walter Kemmerer which
lasted several years and went to several countries, and visited
Colombia in 1923 to help establish the Central Bank, today known
as Banco de la República) the World Bank Mission in 1949 led by
Profesor Kerry, The Louchlin Currier mission (led by
Canadian-born Economist, later U.S. naturalized citizen and then
Colombian citizen after the U.S. denied to renew his passport
Lauchlin Bernard Currie between 1949 and 1953), and
also private foundations such as the Ford and Kellogg
Foundations), in which some of their recomendations were to
modernize the Colombian State Organization.
The ESAP is a Public University under the DAFP and helps in administrative
tasks to educate people who are to work in the civil service.
It currently operates several branches around to cover the whole
country as follows:
- Antioquia – Chocó (located in Medellín)

- a heart pierced by an arrow in the middle of the emblem, symbolizing love for
God, for mankind and for the world, placed on an open book symbolizing science;

Is this "bearing a golden staff", or "its flagstaff being gold-coloured"?
By accident we had two such stripes, but they were to far apart to form a single
diagonal. As a stop-gap measure I filled in the gaps with red and white.
But I wonder whether we need some sort of shading to indicate the red diagonal
on the red stripe. I now that part of the design will not be very strong,
regardless, but if one could see the red diagonal continuing, then at least the
design would make sense.
Hm, interesting, those colours. Hope apparently is an aspiration to a better
future, while life is filled with tenacity, struggle, and liberty.

I myself think it doesn't look so much like a bi-colour green over red, over
all a bi-colour narrow rising diagonal, red over white - as like a bi-colour
