Academia Francia Belleza y Diseño Cauca, located in Popayan (Cauca Department)
educates manicurists, podiatrists, hairdressers and make-up artists and
designers.
The flag of the institute is horizontally divided white-green. A white triangle
is placed along the hoist, limited on its left by a magenta border and charged
with the institute's emblem.
The emblem of the institute was adopted by Agreement No. 1 of 15 March 2014,
according to the norms established in the institute's Etiquette Guidebook and
Corporative Visual Identity Guidebook. The shield is of "metallic texture". The
gray bordure is inscribed with three words found in the Book of Proverbs, "CIENCIA
SABIDURIA" (Science, Learning; left) and "CONOCIMIENTO" (Knowledge; right). The
shield is vertically divided by wavy lines into three parts:
- the left part features on a magenta background a white pair of scissors
representing the techniques and trends of decorative aesthetics:
- the right part features on a green background a hairdresser's comb,
representing clearness and care in beauty;
- the central part features on a white background a composite element shaped
like a woman's silhouette, made of the Eiffel Tower, representing the first logo
of the institute and France ("Francia") superimposed with a woman wearing an
elegant sombrero, clad in white and outlined in magenta, representing subtlety,
elegance, glamour and beauty. Beneath the silhouette is an open book,
superimposed with two hands supporting the woman-shaped silhouette, meaning that
the institute is placed in God's hands.
The shield is surrounded by four scrolls attached to two staffs in the upper
part, meaning command, safety and strength. In the lower part is a golden yellow
plaque inscribed with "2005", the year of foundation of the institute as
Institución Educativa para el Trabajo y el Desarrollo Humano. The two scrolls
closer to the shield are green, while the two distant ones are magenta,
inscribed with the institute's motto "ESFUERZATE Y SE VALIENTE" (Work and Be
Valiant). The shield is surmounted by a white scroll inscribed with the
institute's name in black capital letters.
Apple green, white and magenta are the corporate colours of the institute.
Green represents life, natural environment, growth, health, renovation, rest,
fertility, resistance, freshness, elation, calm, balance, harmony, hope, youth,
lightness, confidence, stability and economy.
White, as the colour of the Holy Ghost, represents purity, virginity, perfection
and limpidity. Associated with light, kindness, innocence and freshness, it
represents faith.
Magenta represents compassion, support, kindness, glamour, elegance, maturity,
benignity, grace, sincerity, amiability, enthusiasm, understanding, abnegation
and empowerment.

A while ago in May I spotted the ESAP flag shown on TV during
the ceremonies for their 50th anniversary.
The ESAP (Escuela Superior de Administración Pública, Public
Administration Superior School) was established by Law 19 of
November 25, 1958 and traces its origins as a response to
several missions to the country made earlier, but mainly during
the regime of General Gustavo Rojas Pinilla (1953-1957), among
them a commission from the French Government (n.d), The Kemmerer
mission (led by prestigious Economist Edwin Walter Kemmerer which
lasted several years and went to several countries, and visited
Colombia in 1923 to help establish the Central Bank, today known
as Banco de la República) the World Bank Mission in 1949 led by
Professor Kerry, The Louchlin Currier mission (led by
Canadian-born Economist, later U.S. naturalized citizen and then
Colombian citizen after the U.S. denied to renew his passport
Lauchlin Bernard Currie between 1949 and 1953), and
also private foundations such as the Ford and Kellogg
Foundations), in which some of their recommendations were to
modernize the Colombian State Organization.
The ESAP is a Public University under the DAFP and helps in administrative
tasks to educate people who are to work in the civil service.
It currently operates several branches around to cover the whole
country as follows:

The
emblem of the institute is inscribed in a blue equilateral triangle, a symbol of
stability and strength. It features the three pillars of the institute on a
golden background, a symbol of wealth, an open book as an example of study and
knowledge, from which emerges, as a consequence, a dove with spread wings, an
invitation to personal and community peace; all over, the sacred illumination of
the Holy Trinity.
