The flag of CEIPA is yellow, for excellence, with two thin white stripes, for transparency required for excellence in business, in the upper and lower parts of the flag, and the shield of the institute in the middle.

The four arrows symbolize the four compass directions, in which commerce should spread, whereas the moon crescents and stars are symbols of business. This medieval symbol was selected to recall that both business and university concepts date back to the Middle Ages.

White is associated with light, kindness, innocence and purity. White is a symbol of perfection, safety, purity and limpidity; considered as the color of perfection, it generally has a positive connotation. In heraldry, white represents faith and purity.
For these reasons, the blue and white colors of the flag of Centre de Comercio represent knowledge and wisdom, truth, rectitude, values which are clearly involved on the development of intelligence and the conscience of our educational community.

Basically, the chromatic elements that compose the coat of arms of Centro de Comercio are white, yellow and green.
In the heraldic language, yellow is called or while white is called argent, two incorruptible ores whose shine and resistance symbolize nobleness and highest ideals. Moreover, Centro de Comercio features diverse emblems in its coat of arms:
- a torch, whose flame is a symbol of light;
- a book, a repository of knowledge and symbol of wisdom, truth and intelligence;
- the motto reading "Science and Virtue", which encompasses our mission to offer integral education
- the wreath, elaborated with plant components, recalling the crown awarded to champions in the Olympic Games of ancient Greece, as a symbol of triumph, success and achievement.

image by Ivan Sache, 01 August 2014

"Instituto Tecnológico del Cesar" (ITUC) was recognized by the Assembly of the Department of Cesar in 1973 (Decree No. 050) and inaugurated on 15 May 1973. ITUC was transformed into "Universidad Popular del Cesar" by the Ministry of National Education on 25 June 1993 (Decree No. 3272).
The main seat of the university is located at Valledupar; there is a secondary seat in Aguachica and presence in the municipalities of Chimichagua, Tamalameque and Maicao.
The flag of the university, as shown graphically and described on the University's website , is vertically divided green-white (c. 2:1) with a green stripe in the upper corner and the emblem of the university in the middle of the white stripe.
The emblem of the university was designed by Jairo Obregón Salazar, student in Law. It is made of a diamond, black in its upper part and blue with a yellow sun in its lower part, placed on a red device, surrounded by two laurel branches. The name of the university is written in black letters above the emblem, while its motto, "Educación y Futuro" ("Education and Future"), is written in black letters under the emblem.
The diamond represents the university, permanently irradiating light on the vast field of knowledge. Blue represents the transparency of the sky and the revealed truth, while black represents darkness and ignorance. The sun recalls Prometheus stealing a sun ray to show the truth to mankind. Laurel has always been associated to culture and was also used to crown the Greek heroes and Roman emperors.
