On July 13 I spotted the flag of the Universidad de las Ciencias de la Salud
"Hugo Chávez Frías" (English: Health Science University "Hugo Chavez Frias"). It
was established by Decreto Presidencial (Presidential Decree) No. 1,317,
published on the Gaceta Oficial (Official Gazzete) No. 40,514, dated October 8,
2014, in the framework of the "Misión Alma Mater" (English: Alma Mater Mission)
(official website: www.misionalmamater.gob.ve, dead link,
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misi%C3%B3n_Alma_Mater), a government
program to change the whole educational system, specifically public institutions
(both high schools and universities). Alma Mater Mission
is a sub Mission of
Misión Sucre.

It is important to notice that several government programs are regulated
through these so called "Misiones" (Missions), encompassed
in the "Sistema
Nacional de Misiones" (Missions National System) (official website:
http://www.gobiernoenlinea.ve/miscelaneas/misiones.html, and new official website:
https://www.misionesbolivarianas.com/, and
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sistema_Nacional_de_Misiones).
Its flag is
a yellow horizontal flag with the logo (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C5R_SrxWYAAy0l7.jpg) in the middle.

The Flag of University of Margarita is dexter hoist; this is,
the hoist seen at the left of the observer and therefore the
logotype appears on the lower fly. The prevailing vexillological
custom in Venezuela is that the flags are dexter hoisted or with
the hoist sees to left of the observer. We can describe the Flag
of University of Margarita in this way: a field with approximate
ratio 2:3 diagonally divided from upper fly to lower hoist in two
stripes: blue and white, showing on this last one the logotype of
the Institution (blue circle with letters U in superior part and
M in the inferior part, both white)

Universidad Metropolitana - Metropolitan University - Caracas
Guillermo T. Aveledo, 15 September 2000
In May 1964, Eugenio Mendoza founded a civil association to
promote the foundation of a University. On 21 October 1970, the
University National Council authorized the foundation of
Universidad Metropolitana (Unimet) in Caracas. The University was
inaugurated the next day in the former seat of Colegio América
in San Bernardino. In 1976, the University moved to its current
seat in La Urbina and built a 100-ha campus. The University has
now 5,000 students and 500 professors
The University
website shows the flag of the University with a
"floating pattern". There are a few differences with
the flag shown above:
- the colour of the flag is more orange and less red
- the UM logotype is orange and not black
- there are seven upper and five lower orange "stripes"
instead of five and five.

The UNET imagetype is inscribed within an imaginary,
perfect square; it shall be of blue color. It is composed of parallel, straight
lines that represent letters "U" and "T", placed in a way visually forming the
acronym "UT". The end of each line is longitudinally cut centerwise, in order to
reduce distance from the contiguous line. The base of letter "T" entering letter
"U" forms a plane rectangle filled with the color of the straight lines. In the
lower part of the imagetype and outside the virtual square is the word "UNET".

The UNEFA
official website now shows and describes a different shield . Since
there is no reason to question Raul Orta's report, it is clear
that the shield was changed. The new shield has eight stars
instead of seven and shows a portrait of Simon Bolivar; it was
therefore undoubtly adopted as a symbol of President Chávez'
Bolivarian Revolution.
The burning torch represents sport as the spirit of the
University. The eight stars represent the eight provinces of
Venezuela. The book symbolizes wisdom, perseverance and
self-abnegation in the studies. The central figure (left) is a
portrait of Simon Bolivar, representing the ideology of the
Bolivarian process. The central figure (right) represents the
four components of the armed forces. In the previous version of
the shield, there was no book and the emblem of the armed forces
was placed directly on the blue background of the shield. The
tricolor scroll bears the name of the country and the date of
foundation of UNEFA, 26 April 1999 (by Presidential Decree No
115). On the former shield, the scroll bore two dates (not shown
on the image but described in the companion text), 3 February
1974 having been deleted from the current scroll.
