The coat of arms of the Universidad Católica de Colombia is described in Chapter 2.4. of the Manual de Imagen Institucional, last revised in 2016.
Designed in 1970 by the philosopher Ángel María Quintero Hernández, funding member and author of the declaration of principles of the institute, the coat of arms was modernized in 2008. The coat of arms is composed of three horizontal stripes, blue, white, and yellow. Blue and white are associated with the Immaculate Conception of Virgin Mary. Heraldically, blue represents time projection and the infinite, while white, equivalent to silver, represents purity and honesty as features of the university. Yellow recalls the flag of the Holy See, emphasizing the adhesion of the university to papacy and to St. Peter's chair. Heraldically, yellow, equivalent to gold, is a symbol of the spiritual resources proper to academia, maximum when inspired by the Catholic principles. The shield's field is charged by a Cross of Lorraine, a symbol of the triumph of truth over lie, of good over evil, of life over death, and of liberty over totalitarianism. Heraldically, the smaller arms of the cross represents the monogram "INRI", which is a recognition of the royalty of Jesus Christ. The shield is surmounted by the motto "SAPIENTIA AEDIFICAVIT SIBI DOMUM" (Wisdom hath built herself a house; Proverbs, 9,1).

Católica de Manizales, Universidad

image by Ivan Sache, 25 May 2018

Universidad Católica de Manizales (UCM) was established on 11 February 1954, as Universidad Católica Femenina, by Sister María de la Santísima Trinidad, a member of the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin, a congregation founded in 1696 by Marie Poussepin (1653-1744; beatified on 20 November 1994 by Pope John Paul II and awarded the title of "Charity's Social Apostle").
http://www.ucm.edu.co/, UCM website

The flag of UCM is horizontally divided blue-white-green with a red fimbriation and the symbol taken from the university's coat of arms in the center. Blue is the color of the congregation managing UCM, as the color of its patron saint, the Blessed Virgin. White is the color of the coffee flower and of the snow-capped mountains ("nevados"). Green is the color of the coffee foliage and of the land's greenness. Red is the color of the ripe coffee berries and of the youth's ardent blood.
http://www.ucm.edu.co/la-universidad/simbolos-institucionales/, UCM website

The symbol of UCM is made of a French shield, recalling the country of origin of Marie Poussepin, the founder of the congregation managing UCM. The green background symbolizes hope, creativity, constancy and intrepidity; in the middle is placed the graphic element, made of a cross, symbol of Jesus Christ, of a "U" for "Universality" and "University", and of a "C" for "Catholic" and "Christian". This graphic element was used as the university's coat of arms until 1998.

The blue bordure, as a symbol of protection, favor and reward, uses the blue color of the Blessed Virgin. Blue also symbolizes justice, sweetness, loyalty and piety. The red fimbriation represents strength, valor, fidelity, joy and honor. Red is also the color of the coffee berries. The golden scroll is a symbol of nobleness and charity. The motto "Verdad Caridad" reads "Truth Charity".

The connection of colors with coffee recalls that Manizales is one of the cradle of coffee cultivation in Colombia, as part of the Coffee Triangle.

Cauca, Colegio Mayor del

image by Ivan Sache, 05 July 2011

Law 48 issued in 1945 prescribed the foundation of four "Colegios Mayores" of Cundinamarca (in Bogotá), Antioquia (in Medellín), Bolívar (in Carthagena) and Cauca (in Popayán). The most recent of the four institutes, "Colegio Mayor del Cauca" was inaugurated on 13 November 1967 as "Colegio Mayor de Cultura Popular del Cauca".
The flag of the institute, as shown graphically and described on the website of the institute, is vertically divided blue-yellow-blue with the institute's
logotype in the top of the yellow stripe. The first two stripes seem to be of the same width and the third one much wider.
Yellow is the colour of the sun, of light, life, action and power. It symbolizes strength, will and stimulation. It represents the human intelligence enlightened by the divine revelation. According to Vincent Van Gogh, yellow represents "friendship and love".
Blue represents intelligence and deep emotions. It is the colour of the infinite and of the dreams. It symbolizes wisdom, loyalty, eternal truth and immortality.
The first logotype of the institute was prescribed by Decree No. 019 of the Board of Directors, adopted on 1 November 2001. It represents "El Camarín" framed in a white rectangle with a blue border outlined in yellow and charged with the name of the institute in white capital letters.
"El Camarín", lit. the Cabinet, was designed in 1760 by the German architect Simon Schendherr on the facade of the second floor of the Church of the Incarnation. It represents the communication between the inside and outside words. "El Camarín" has three windows, two rectangle on the sides and one circular in the main axis, symbolizing a large eye always watching the ever changing cosmos.
Ivan Sache, 16 December 2008

The current logotype was adopted in 2009 by the Board of Directors. It features a schematic, blue representation of "El Camarín" placed on a yellow background and framed with a blue rectangle with rounded-off angles.

In 2008 the Colegio Mayor del Cauca evolves from an Institución Tecnológica (English: Technological Institution) to an Institución Universitaria (English: University Institution) (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uppV_VfAvmI) and has started to use the initial UNIMAYOR (standing for Universidad Mayor, instead of Colegio Mayor).

The meaning of the flag is as follows (translated from the original in Spanish):
"Meaning of (the) colors:
Yellow: It is the color of light, of the sun, of life, action, power. It symbolizes strength, will and encouragement. It represents human intelligence illuminated by divine revelation. (It is an) Intellectual color. According to Vincet Van Gogh yellow "represents friendship and love". It is a tolerable and cheerful color in small areas.
Blue: It is related to intelligence and deep emotions. It is the color of the infinite, of dreams and of the marvelous and symbolizes wisdom, fidelity, eternal truth and immortality. The blue color does not change with distance and can be used without fatigue in large areas"
