As a (government) Program, Infocentro began in September 2000 with the first
such information center (hence "info center") in Caracas, in order to provide
massive internet access in the country in compliance with "Decreto 825 de Mayo
de 2000" (English: Decreto 825 de Mayo de 2000), and it was seven years later
through "Decreto Presidencial No. 5263 de Mayo de 2007, publicado en Gaceta
Oficial No 38.648 del 20-03-07" (English: Presidential Decree No. 5263 of May
2007, published in Official Gazette No. 38,648 of 03-20-07) when there was
already an important deployment of centers throughout the country - that the
Fundación Infocentros (English: Infocentros Foundation) was created to provide
the physical infrastructure (infocenters, mobile info stations, infopoints) and
technology (computers and other devices, connectivity, and software
applications) as well as human sources (staff from the foundation, coordinators,
supervisors, and facilitators of the social network) to guarantee the
sustainability of the socio-technological project, hand in hand with organized
communities.
Currently these Free Internet connection centers nationwide
depend on the "Centro Nacional de Tecnologías de Información, CNTI" (English:
National Center for Information Technologies), an entity attached to the
"Ministerio del Poder Popular para Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación, MCTI"
(English: Ministry of Popular Power for Science, Technology and Innovation)
which develops programs for the massification and democratization of information
technologies in Venezuela"

The previous flag is the previous logo over a white horizontal background. I haven't been able to locate a flag with the current logo but I'm pretty sure there's one.
