"Instituto de Educación Técnica Profesional de
Roldanillo" (INTEP) was created on 17 May 1979 (Decree No.
1093) in Roldanillo as "Instituto de Educación
Intermedia Profesional de Roldanillo". The institute was
reorganized and renamed "Instituto de Educación Técnica
Profesional de Roldanillo" on 26 April 1988 (Decree No. 758)
and its general statutes were approved by the Ministry of
National Education on 15 May 1989 (Decree No. 1027).
The flag of INTEP is shown graphically and described on the INTEP website.
The flag is vertically divided yellow-white-blue with the emblem
of INTEP in the middle, in dimensions 1.20 m x 1.50 m (that is,
with proportions 4:5).
Yellow is the colour of the nobleness and high value of
knowledge, and of the joy and honour characterizing all the
working activities in the institute.
White is the colour of light and the greatest symbol of union,
purity and nobleness conferred by study.
Blue is the colour of the sky over Roldanillo, and, more
generally the colour of heavens once clouds have dispersed; it
represents truth, justice, the deep gentleness of the university
members and loyalty to the spiritual values.
Placed on the symbolically strong white colour, the emblem of
INTEP unites the meanings of the yellow and blue colours.
The vertical display of the colours represent the continuous
increase of knowledge towards excellence. It also expresses the
infinite and the possible movement. The colours are arranged to
match the physiologic mechanism of visual perception.
Yellow, a warm colour, is placed in the left visual field and is
interpreted by the brain right hemisphere, in relation to
sensibility, imagination, intuition and creativity.
Blue, a cold colour, is placed in the right visual field and is
interpreted by the brain left hemisphere, in relation to
intelligence, rationality, science and language.
The vertical stripes are arranged according to an horizontal
gradient of colour temperature, from the warm yellow to the cold
blue, mitigated by the quite cold and still white. This colour
display is harmonic and balanced, both in time and space.
The emblem of INTEP is made of a shield surrounded by an elliptic
border.
The elliptic border is ornamental but mandatory, with a ratio of
6:5 between its greater and smaller axes. It represents the
trajectory of a celeste body moving around another on
an orbit prescribed by the Law of universal gravitation.
In the lower focus of the elliptic shield is placed the shaft and
capital of a Doric column. The lower part of the shaft is charged
with a scroll bearing the motto ot INTEP and its Latin
translation. A woman and a man stand on the column, rising their
arms to support the globe placed in the upper focus of the
ellipse. The column symbolizes the support and cohesion provided
by the past and shared traditions to people, represented by a
pair in a creative function, aimed at the free research of inner
and outer knowledge.
The central elements are surrounded by two golden branches of
olive symbolizing peace and the commitment of INTEP to keep and
preserve the natural environment with the help of science and
progress.
Yellow, used in the outline of the outer ellipse, in the olive
branches and in the scroll, represents the sun as a source of
vitality, loyalty to the commitments, the nobleness and high
value of knowledge, and the joy and honour characterizing all the
working activities in the institute.
Blue, used in the central figures, in the globe and the column,
is the colour of the sky over Roldanillo, and, more generally the
colour of heavens once clouds have dispersed; it represents
truth, justice, the deep gentleness of the university members and
loyalty to the spiritual values.
The motto is written on the scroll in relief, with letters
outlined in black, representing prudence, shyness and honesty.
The background of the shield is white, the colour of light and
the greatest symbol of union, purity and nobleness conferred by
study.

The symbol is that of the Dominican Order,
but with colors changed.
Tomislav Todorovic, 25 October 2016
The University's official website states:
La Cruz de Calatrava es el símbolo de la Orden de Predicadores (Dominicos) (Order of Preachers, in Latin: Ordo Praedicatorum, postnominal abbreviation O.P.), also known as the Dominican Order, (official website: http://op.org/) fundada en 1215 por Domingo de Guzmán. Por pertenecer a dicha orden, el fundador del Colegio Mayor de Nuestra Señora del Rosario, fray Cristóbal de Torres, hereda al Rosario este emblema distintivo conformado por cuatro flores de lis adaptadas en blanco y negro. A partir de 1936, la Cruz de Calatrava se enmarca dentro de los lambrequines diseñados por Dionisio de Renart, autor de la Estatua del Fundador ubicada en el Patio Central del Claustro, reemplazando la simbología iconográfica dominica propuesta originalmente por el escultor.Source: http://www.urosario.edu.co/Home/la-universidad/El-escudo/
