This is a list offlags, arranged by design, serving as a navigational aid for identifying a given flag.Uncharged flags are ones that either are solid or contain only rectangles, squares and crosses but no crescents, circles, stars, triangles, maps, flags, coats of arms or other objects or symbols. Charged flags are flags that contain crescents, circles, stars, triangles, maps, flags, coats of arms and other objects or symbols, as well as rectangles, squares and crosses. Some charged flags contain letters or other pieces of text on them.
Flags occur in a variety of shapes and proportions, most commonly rectangular, with some featuring alternative forms,aspect ratios, or fringes at the fly.
Wiphala — the aspect ratio is 1:1 — square-shaped — with implied 13 diagonals of squares in a rainbow pattern of seven colours in a seven-by-seven square
Flag of Nepal — currently the only non-rectangular national civil flag — being made with 5 sides — and the only one that is taller than wide, with the bordering aspect ratio of ≈ 6:5
While mostcharged flags are duotone or multicolor, they are referred to by their solid primary color foremost, with their charged symbol's color(s) and symbology following accordingly.[citation needed]
