I found a webpage about the symbols of the "Estado
Zulia" in Venezuela (on their official website) at: <www.zulia.com>. It
includes the flag, and has a tiny image (blue over black with a
sun-like device in the centre) and the next text: "La
Bandera del Estado Zulia fue creada por José Antonio Urdaneta.
Se decretó oficialmente Bandera del Zulia el 23 de Enero de
1991. El color azul representa la hidrografía, el lago, golfo,
ríos; el color negro, representa el petríleo. El sol, el calor,
la hospitalidad y la riqueza Zuliana. El relampago, el rayo del
Catatumbo, guía del Zuliano."
Mark Sensen, 17 January 1998
The translation: "The flag of the state of Zulia was
created by Jose' Antonio Urdaneta. It was officially adopted at
January 23rd, 1991. The colour blue represents the hidrography,
the lake, the gulf, rivers; the colour black represents the oil;
the sun, represents Zulian heat (warmth ?), hospitality and
wealth. The lightning represents the Catatumbo ray, guide of the
Zulian citizen."
Jorge Candeias, 18 january 1998
