Club de Alto Rendimiento Especializado Independiente del Valle, commonly known as Independiente del Valle, is a professional football club based in Sangolquí, Ecuador. The team competes in the Ecuadorian Serie A, the top tier of Ecuadorian football, and has gained international recognition in recent years for its success and development model. This unofficial Independiente del Valle fan flag (Spanish: bandera no oficial de Independiente del Valle) features the club's official emblem placed on a black-and-blue vertically striped background, a design inspired by the team's traditional home jersey.
The club's emblem is built around a shield design bordered in black and white, filled with vertical black-and-white stripes that reflect the team's visual identity. At the center of the shield lies a black circular field containing a white monogram formed by the letters "C," "I," and "V," representing the club's full name. The dot of the "I" is uniquely stylized as a five-pointed star, adding a subtle symbolic detail to the composition. Above the circular element, the word "Independiente" is prominently displayed in uppercase letters, reinforcing the club's name and identity, while a white five-pointed star appears below it, contributing to the emblem's balance and symbolism. At the top of the shield, three gold stars are placed, each representing major championship achievements and highlighting the club's growing success. Altogether, the emblem combines modern design with meaningful symbolism, reflecting Independiente del Valle's ambition, identity, and rising prominence in South American football.
