11 college flags of Asociacion de Colegios Jesuitas can be
seen at <www.acodesi.org.co>.
Dov Gutterman, 3 June 2001
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 institute has now its own website,
under the name of "Colegio San José Barranquilla".

1918.
The flag of the institute, as shown on the website of the
institute, is horizontally divided blue-white with the coat of
arms of the institute in the middle.

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

Variant flag
There seems to be both a new logosymbol (http://colsanjose.edu.co/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/cropped-LogoLarge-192x192.jpg)
and a flag, as seen here (second flag from left to right):
http://colsanjose.edu.co/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/WhatsApp-Image-2017-09-21-at-3.20.41-PM-1.jpeg
(source:
http://colsanjose.edu.co/primera-reunion-del-consejo-de-padres-2017-2018/).
The new flag is a horizontal flag, divided horizontally into three equal stripes
(top and bottom in blue, and the middle stripe in white). The new coat of arms
is located in the middle of the white stripe.
The official description of
the new logosymbol is as follows (translated from the original, in Spanish):
"Composed of an inverted triangle whose sides are slightly curved.
At the
base of the triangle, at the top, the name of the San José School is inscribed.
The triangle is divided vertically into two equal parts; the left side
represents the tower of the temple of the first seat of the College, symbol of
our faith and our traditions; the right side has the characteristic anagram of
the Society of Jesus (official website:
http://www.sjweb.info), consisting of the first three letters of the name of
Jesus in Greek (Ιησούς, in capitals ΙΗΣΟΥΣ, which derived into the monogram
(more properly Christogram) IHΣ, substituting the "Σ" for the S)): JHS (Spanish:
Jesús, Hombre, Salvador) (English: Jesus, Man, Savior)
The cross that
crowns the letter H (Eta in Greek), has a double crosspiece characteristic of
the Cross of Lorraine for aesthetic reasons.
Below the triangle is a blue
ribbon with the date of the establishment of the school, 1918, in yellow."
