The flag of CRESR is white with a dark red triangle, not reaching the
edges of the flag, charged with the yellow letters "CRESR". The
"Impact" font seems to be a correct approximation of the font used on the real flag, which is shown on a photography on the CRESR website.
The flag was designed by two teachers of CRESR, María Luisa Castillo
and Martina Cárdenas. Garnet red (rojo granate) represents the
flower of the chivato salpicada de amarillo* , a tree that grows
profusely near the center. White is the symbol of the purity of the
children and of the youth.
*Chivato is the name given in Argentina and Paraguay to the Royal
Poinciana, D. regia (Boj. ex Hook.) Raf., a tree native from
Madagascar, aka Flamboyant (FlameTree) or Malinche. The Portuguese
word chivato, "a pimp", alludes to the bright red, profuse flowers
of the tree. The biggest petal (standard) of the flower is white and
yellow-spotted, which might explain the salpicado de amarillo
(yellow-spotted) epithet.
