Colegio Parroquial Emaús was established in Medellín (Antioquia Department)
on 17 April 1995 by the priest of the parish of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe,
Jorge Alberto Galeano Buitrago (d. 2001), with the administrative support of
Iván Salazar Duque (d. 2009). Colegio Parroquial Emaús took over in 2004 the
school established in 2000 by the priest of the parish of La Pasión (Nuevo
Horizonte borough), Luís Emilio Flórez Buitrago.
The flag of the institute is horizontally divided white-blue with the
institute's coat of arms in the middle. White means the search for social
interaction based on values. Blue is an elegant, serious, joyous, safe, and
tranquil colour. It is a symbol of intelligence, knowledge, and deep truth. This
colour represents the great munificence of the Creation and is a Marian allegory.

The coat of arms of the institute features:
- a shield vertically divided white and blue. These Marian colours recall the
strong connection between the institute and the parish. The style of the shield
is borrowed form the arms of the Medellín Archdiocese.
- a heart, alluding to Luke 24:32: "They asked each other, 'Were not our hearts
burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures
to us?' "
- a crown of thorns surrounding the heart, as a vivid reference of the love of
Jesus for mankind, supplying sacrifice and generosity, the values that children
and teenagers shall practice. The crown also represents the difficult situation
of the youth and the death of several of them during periods of violence.
Preserving values requires part of sacrifice in a society like ours.
- sun rays forming the heart's background, as a symbol of youth that spreads to
the society the fundamental values required to be and to live. They recall the
evidence that children and teenagers should provide to the society as a
testimony of the resurrection.

Institución Educativa Técnica Enrique Olaya Herrera was originally
established, as a boy's school, in 1946 in Guateque (Boyacá Department) by
Carlos Garzón and Luis F. Acevedo. Transformed into a Colegio Nacional by
Resolution No. 21,401 of 16 June 1952, the institute was renamed Colegio
Nacional Enrique Olaya Herrera by Resolution No. 5,313 of 27 October 1970, as a
tribute to Guateque-born Enrique Olaya Herrera (1880-1937), President of the
Republic from 1930 to 1934.
Institución Educativa Enrique Olaya Herrera was established by Resolution No.
1,732 of 19 July 2002 as the merger of Colegio Nacional Enrique Olaya Herrera,
Colegio Básico Hortensia Perilla and Concentración Urbana Mixta. Resolution No.
110 of 4 February 2010 renamed it Institución Educativa Técnica Enrique Olaya
Herrera, with a specialization in electronics. The institute took over
Institución Educativa Rural Julia Flores by Resolution No. 6,850 of 15 December

I recently wrote that the Colombian Theresian educational institutes could
share a common flag, horizontally divided white-blue. My assumption, based on
two samples, was erroneous.
Colegio Teresiano de Envigado is one of the seven Colombian institutes chaired
by the Community of St. Therese of the Child Jesus. It was founded in 1969 in
Envigado (Department of Antioquia) by Sister Maria del Pilar Suárez, the then
Superior of the Community in Colombia, as Colegio Teresiano Monteblanco. In
1999, the institute was renamed Colegio Teresiano de Envigado.
The flag of Colegio Teresiano de Envigado is presented on the institute's
website as horizontally divided light blue-white-coffee brown, with respective
proportions 2:1:1 - undoubtedly recalling the Colombian national flag. The three
stripes, placed "from the Earth to Heavens", symbolize the Theresian spirit.
Coffee brown represents integral education and the woman's representation in the
Theresian values. Light blue represents transcendency. The three colors together
represent prayer as a personal relation with God and the synthesis of the
Theresian humanism.

"Institución Universitaria de Envigado" (IUE) was
founded in 1992 in Envigado. The flag of IUE is
horizontally divided orange-white-green with the emblem of the
IUE in the middle. The flag uses the colours of the municipality
of Envigado, green and orange, together with white, representing
the social responsability included into our institutional
mission. The emblem of IUE is made of an "abstraction"
of the letters "IUE" and two elements, the Earth
representing projection all over the world, and an atomic nucleus
[indeed a nucleus surrounded by electrons] representing
technology, science and vision of the future.

The logo is detailed in the Visual Identity Guidebook. Oddly enough, the logo
used on the flag does not comply with the guidelines, which do not prescribe the
lighter blue / gray border added on the left and bottom of the symbol. This
border might be a misinterpretation of the construction sheet given in the
guidebook.
The logo shall be made of a square symbol, of 7 units x 7 units. The distance
between the square's border and the writing of the institute's name shall be 1
unit. The square shall be inscribed in the upper right corner with the
institute's acronym, on two lines ("ce" / "sa"). The font is prescribed as
Helvetica Neue LT Std Bold. The institute's full name shall be placed on the
left of the symbol, on two lines ("Colegio de Estudios" / "Superiores de
Administración"), the lower line matching the lower border of the symbol. The
font is prescribed as Trade Gothic Bold. This is the logo "for secondary use",
while the logo "for [primary] horizontal use" has the writing placed beneath the
symbol.
The "institutional blue" colour is prescribed as:
Pantone 287 C
CMYK (%) 100-80-0-20
RGB 0-58-28

I created new flag images. However RGB colours given in that
pdf seems to be
wrong, because it's a shade of dark green, but not blue. I think the proper
colour is about RGB 0-58-128, or something similar.
Zoltan Horvath, 24 November 2014
There is often deviation between what is prescribed and what is actually used
- not to mention that colour specifications are usually given for printed
material. Accordingly, you are absolutely right to trust the colour as you
perceive it rather than as it is prescribed.

Escuela Exalumnas de la Presentación was established in 1963 in the Jordán
borough, part of the municipality of Ibagué (Tolima Department), by former
students of Colegio de la Presentación del Centro de Ibagué, led by Sister Elisa
Londoño - Provincial Superior of the Community of the Dominican Sisters of the
Presentation - and Sister Mabel Jaramillo, in charge of the management of the
former students. The congregation of the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation
was founded in 1695 by Marie Poussepin (1653-1744; beatified on 20 November 1994
by Pope John Paul II). Colegio Exalumnas de la Presentación was established in
October 1981. Institución Educativa Exalumnas was eventually established by

Escolar Exalumnas de la Presentación and Colegio Exalumnas de la Presentación.

It may be that the uniqueness is in the Royal Blue shade, but otherwise I'm
tempted to say that I've seen this one before. I don't even think it's a unique
case. I wonder if there's no intention to be unique or whether there's merely a
lack of information on other flags.

Since this is a school sponsored by alumni from the school La Presentación,
my question is regarding La Presentación: the flag reported for
La Presentación is from a school located in
Duitama. Well, there's another school called
La Presentación in
Medellín, so I wonder if these two, plus the alumni
sponsored school, have the same flag pattern?
Esteban Rivera, 17 September 2014
Since the size of the available sample of flags form Colombian institutes is
growing and growing, it is indeed relevant to look at flag patterns and
similarities. There appears to be "some" patterns related to the
congregations that managed some schools. Unfortunately, there is, usually,
little available knowledge on the exact relations between these schools,
therefore we can only infer some groupings, as Esteban did.
Moreover, the big size of the sample and the relatively limited pattern
variation - several flags are horizontally divided into two or three stripes -
automatically results in the use of similar flag by not necessarily related
institutes. This appears to be the same as for some departmental and municipal
flags.
Another puzzling issue is the use of the institute's emblem on the flag. It is
sometimes prescribed but not shown on flags in actual use, or not prescribed but
actually added to the flags in use. When photos are available, it i not
infrequent to have flags significantly different from what is prescribed /
described / illustrated on websites.
