In the website of the university reported above they only say
that the colors of the flag are white and red and some drawing
that is not a flag is shown, suggesting a horizontal divided
flag. In <www.umb.edu.co>
, there is a picture of the flag and a link to an animated
version. This annimate version is horizontal white over
red, with the emblem. The photograph is from a stand flag
but it seems to be diagonal divided, white on the top-hoist and
red on the fly-bottom, and includes the emblem (set diagonally so
at it looks right in the stand flag).
The flag I have seen flying is diagonally divided, with no
emblem. Let me confiirm, I am pretty sure it is diagonally
divided but last time I checked there was no wind (and I was
driving) so I am not sure on the disposition of the colors.
Red seemed to be above, and white seemed to be towards the fly,
anyhow.
