Banco Central de Venezuela (Central Bank of Venezuela)
Description: A Dark Blue field, with the Seal of the Banco
Central de Venezuela (BCV) centered on it. This seal mimicks a
coin, and it is usually black with embroiderments of white,
encircled in ocre. There is also a coloured version of the Seal,
also used on flags (haven't found it yet).

Universidad Central de Venezuela (Central University of
Venezuela; founded 1721).
Description: A white field (although sometimes light yellow or
even beige are used; there are no official specifications to this
flag besides the ones I'm giving) with the Seal of the University
and the date "1721" (date it was founded) on royal blue
(embroidered under the seal on roman type letters). The seal
consists of a few Academic and National symbols: Encircled by the
words "*Universidad Central* Caracas-Venezuela", we see
seven stars (as the ones in the national flag) over a shining oil
lamp (which symbolises enlightment and sums up the University's
motto: "the house that overcomes the shadows") which
sits on two books (philosophy and science), old papers and an
inkpot with a pen on a book (history). Branches of Cofee and Palm
encircle the lower part of the arrangement (as a connection to
the tropical reality the University stands in).
