The Escuela Politécnica del Ejército (Polytechnic School of
the Army) is located in Quito and was originally established for
the education of Engineer Officers in the Ecuadorian Army. It
then evolved into the Ecuadorian Military Academy but since 1977
it has transformed itself into a standard civilian
university with a full range of civil as well as military career
opportunities. The university logo can be seen at <www.espe.edu.ec>;
it seems strange that an institution with such military
antecedents does not posess a flag or standard. However, I found
something on a Spanish web site, <www.dara.es>, which
may well be the university flag even though the site refers to it
as a shield. On the university's own home page the logo is simply
placed on a white background, but on this Spanish site it is
centered on an oyster colored rectangular background. It looks
like a flag, the institution ought to have a flag, but they have
not responded to my queries and therefore all that I can do is to
refer to this image as a possible flag.

It does have a flag: <www.espe.edu.ec>,
the little one on the podium (better visible in some of the other
photos). Red/green diagonal with emblem in center.

The flag of the Polytechnical Agricultural Superior College is
beige with a dark green border and the emblem of the College in
the middle. The flagstaff shall be of coffee colour. Green stands
for the agricultural wealth of the city of Calceta and the canton
of Bolivar, as well as for hope. Beige stands for hospitality,
work and solidarity expressed by the inhabitants of the region.
The emblem of the College shows an earthworm, which is born in
earth, feed from earth, converts earth into humus and eventually
feeds earth. The earthworm wears an orange sombrero and reads a
book. It is inscribed in a double circle in which is written the
name of the college. The acronym ESPAM is written on a green
ribbon placed below the circles.
Note that the space between the two circles should probably be
beige, too. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a better
image of the reading earthworm emblem.

PUCESD is Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Ecuador - Seat
of Santo Domingo de los Colorados, that is the Faculty of the
Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador in Santo Domingo de los
Colorados. The PUCESD was created upon request by Mgr Emilio
Lorenzo Stehle, who already created in 1991 an Instituto Superior
de Pedagogia. The PUCESD was inaugurated on 6 April 1998.
The flag of the PUCESD is white with the emblem of the University
placed in the middle. The picture shown on the PUCESD website
seems to be a close-up of the emblem, therefore I have drawn the
flag with 1:2 proportion, like the national flag of Ecuador.
White stands for purity, whereas the emblem shows the union with
the principal seat of the university in Quito. It is similar ot
the emblem of the Quito seat except the motto.
The emblem of the PUCESD incudes five elements:
- a yellow cross
- a green map of south America
- the PUCESD motto in light blue
- the earth
- the name of the University and seat in blue, around the emblem.
Santo Domingo de los Colorados is the
capital city of a canton located in the province of Pichincha.
The motto of the PUCESD is: La verdad os hara libres.

The Catholic University of Santiago de Guayaquil is located in
Guayaquil. A description of the
university flag and logo, which is displayed on the flag, and
also a color photograph of the flag, can all be seen at <www.ucsg.edu.ec>.
The university flag is almost identical to the Papal
or Vatican flag, with the exception that the University Logo
is positioned where the Papal tiara and Crossed Keys are on the
Papal flag.

There's also a pennant, termed an "estandarte," on
the same page. Translated: "In the inaugural ceremony of the
main building, the archbishop monsignor Manuel de Jesús Serrano
Abad blessed the standard, that is a symbol of triangular form
with the cross of Santiago, patron of the city and school, which
expresses what the university hopes for its members: faith pure
and uncontaminated, fidelity to the traditions that it demands,
gratitude to conscience as opposed to circumstance of life. The
emblem presides over the official acts that are celebrated in the
university.
The flag, a bicolor with vertical bands of white and yellow, was
approved officially by the University Council on the 13 of June
of 1977. Since then it flies on campus every memorial day and
every Monday next to the flags of Ecuador and Guayaquil."

Universidad San Francisco de Quito (St. Francis University of
Quito) is a Roman Catholic institution located in the capital of
Ecuador. I have received an e-mail from the Sub-Assistente en la
Oficina del Rectorado, in reply to a request for information
concerning a possible university flag, which informs me that the
logo which appears on the university
web site, has actually recently 'evolved into a squarely
shaped banner type of flag at the suggestion of one of the
Profesores who said to the Rector that because this logotipo
looks like a flag why is it not made into a flag.
