List of flags by design

This is a list of flags, 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.
