Evolution of the FISU emblem and flag
The home page of the Fédération Internationale de Sport Universitaire (FISU) (International University Sports Federation) contains information about the emblem and flag. According to the page the FISU emblem "consists of a black letter U printed on a white background, centered over 5 stars divided into 2 lines. The 3 upper stars are from left to right respectively: blue, black and red; and the 2 lower stars are yellow and green. The FISU logotype, in black, is centered beneath the stars."
The emblem was created by the Italian University Sports Center (CUSI) for the 1959 World University Games, although the stars were originally curved around the bottom of the U.
The FISU flag "will include the emblem of FISU centered on a flag made out of white material." FISU recommends the following dimensions:

FISU is the International University Sports Federation.
The FISU flag includes the emblem of FISU centred on a flag made out of
white material.
The official FISU emblem was inspired by the 'U' from University accompanied
by five stars that symbolise the 5 continents.
The original emblem (1), created by the C.U.S.I. (Italian University Sports
Center) during the Universiade'59, symbolised FISU for 30 years.
FISU has recently renewed the design of its emblem (2) in order to improve
the consistency of the emblems at the FISU events.
The emblem consists of a black letter 'U' printed on a white background,
centred over 5 stars divided into two lines. The 3 upper stars are from left
to right respectively : blue, black and red; and the 2 lower stars are
yellow and green. The 'FISU' logotype, in black, is centred beneath the
stars.

I have adapted black and white graphics from FISU's webpages to show the
original 1959 FISU flag. Current version 2:3

I'm afraid I gave you a graphic of the original FISU Flag that is
wrong. The colors are in the wrong places. My fault. Attached is a
revised graphic showing the colors in the right place.
