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.

Institución Educativa Eugenio Colmenares Baptista was established in borough
El Salado in 1994, as Colegio General Eugenio Colmenares Baptista, succeeding
Escuela Nº 44, which had been established in 1921.
Source: Institute's website
The institute is named for the journalist José Eugenio Colmenares Baptista,
director of the newspaper La Opinión de Cúcuta, who was murdered on 12 March
1993. The Cúcuta public prosecutor's office proclaimed the murder as "a crime
against humanity", therefore imprescriptible. This was considered as a general
recognition of violence exerted against journalists during the armed conflict,
especially the 1990-1995 period.

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
Departmental Resolution no. 751 of 26 July 2002, as the merger of Concentración
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.
Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 16 September 2014
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.

"Universidad Externado de Colombia (English: Externado University of
Colombia) was established on February 15, 1886, by jurist and educator Nicolás
Pinzón Warlosten. The context for the establishment of the University is as
follows: in 1884-1885 a Civil War took place (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerra_civil_colombiana_de_1884-1885)
in which the Liberals lost the war to the Conservatives and a new Constitution
was drafted (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colombian_Constitution_of_1886),
this being the previous Constitution used in the country until 1991 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colombian_Constitution_of_1991).
Its name, "Externado" is the opposite of "Internado" (Spanish for "Boarding
school", in which the method of education implies staying over most of the time
on campus' grounds and also its education was based on religious teachings, as
opposed to a more secular approach by "Externado"). Externado then was mainly
influenced by liberal thoughts coming from different European educational
methods, hence its name. It gained full university status in 1958."
Sources:
https://www.uexternado.edu.co/la-universidad-externado-de-colombia/historia/
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universidad_Externado_de_Colombia
Its
flag is a three vertical stripe, horizontal flag, each stripe having the same
width, left being green, middle being yellow (more like a mustard color) and
right being red, with its coat of arms (http://www.colectivoacademico.com.co/sites/default/files/field/image/Externado.png)
in the middle stripe. It pretty much resembles the flag of the
United Provinces of New Grenada, although nothing
official regarding this similarity is mentioned in its statutes (http://documentos.uexternado.edu.co/ESTATUTOS-UEC.pdf).
