The normal dark blue outdoor flag has a ratio of approx. 1:2 with the seal
centred. The president's banner is red, divided by a blue bend sinister with the
seal centred and has golden fringes at three sides.
The seal has a golden circumscription in a white bordure fimbriated golden. The
circumscription is in golden initials "UNIVERSIDAD CENTRAL DEL ECUADOR" (above)
and "FUNDADA EN 1651" (below, smaller) "QUITO" (below, slightly bigger,2nd
line). In a blue field is a rectangular "French" shield divided per fess into
yellow over green. Above is a red bonfire, fimbriated golden, lighted by four
golden stems. Beneath are a white closed book, a white pen and a white compass,
all fimbriated golden. Above the shield are 14 golden stars, either ordered in
alongside an invisible circle or oval. The shield is flanked by a white scroll
fimbriated golden with a Latin inscription In golden initials “OMNIUM POTENTIOR
EST SAPIENTIA” (wisdom is mightier than everything(?)).

25 July 1930 by the University Council.
Article 1.

shall measure 3 m in width on 1.50 m in height. The blue stripe, charged with
the white letters "U.C." shall be placed diagonally on the red field, the height
of the stripe being the half of the flag's height, here 0.75 m.
Article 2.
The university flag shall be hoisted in all instances prescribed by the internal
regulations and in the university national feasts.
Article 3.
In national feasts, the national flag shall be hoisted, too.
