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.
