Interlingua, said of IALA (International Auxiliary
Language Association) to distinguish it from
Interlingue, achieved remarkable
success and acceptance — even if modest compared with those
of Esperanto. It is the most
refined application of the
“cosmopolitan” approach for an aprioristic constructed
language, based on the previous language knowledge of the
user and focusing primarily on passive usage, contrasting
with esperanto’s “internationalism” and “democracy”.

Rodríguez [rod97]
says (and I can confirm it) that, although
Interlingua apeared in 1951, no logo was officially adopted
yet. Above are simply two of the 14 proposals published in 1991,
during the language’s 40th anniversary. I used the colors and
arrangement of the European flag, whose philosophy is kin to
the “cosmopolitan” ideas of the adepts of this language.
