A description of the university flag and logo, which is displayed on the
flag, and also a color photograph of the flag, can all be seen at
www.ucsg.edu.ec.
The university flag is almost identical to the Papal
or Vatican flag, with the exception that the University Logo
is positioned where the Papal tiara and Crossed Keys are on the
Papal flag.

On July 31 I saw this
image
from the local newspaper
El Ciudadano showing three flags, from left to right: UFE 1,
Ecuador, UFE 2. Since the news was reported by the
newspaper in Quito, Pichincha
Province, I thought that one of the two UFE's might be of the city of
Quito, or the Pichincha
Province, but clearly it is not the case. The news was a conference by the
Ecuadorian Procurador (Ombudsman) regarding the process of money laundering in
Amsterdam, Netherlands. Then again, checked the
Amsterdam flag, and again, it does not match any of the two UFE's in the
picture mentioned above.
However, looking at the government entity mentioned in the article, Procuraduría
General del Estado (States's General Ombudsman), its symbols do not match either
of the two UFE's.
The last entity mentioned in the article is the CONCLA (Consejo Nacional contra
el Lavado de Activos, National Council Against Money Laundering), so one of the
two unidentified flags could be of this government organization, but I am not
quite sure.

To the right, the closest thing I can come up with is maybe the flag of the
Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil. The logo of the school is located
at http://www2.ucsg.edu.ec/ and a close-up
is at http://osum.sun.com/group/ucsg.

There's also a pennant, termed an "estandarte," on
the same page. Translated: "In the inaugural ceremony of the
main building, the archbishop monsignor Manuel de Jesús Serrano
Abad blessed the standard, that is a symbol of triangular form
with the cross of Santiago, patron of the city and school, which
expresses what the university hopes for its members: faith pure
and uncontaminated, fidelity to the traditions that it demands,
gratitude to conscience as opposed to circumstance of life. The
emblem presides over the official acts that are celebrated in the
university.
The flag, a bicolor with vertical bands of white and yellow, was
approved officially by the University Council on the 13 of June
of 1977. Since then it flies on campus every memorial day and
every Monday next to the flags of Ecuador and Guayaquil."
