List of national flags by design
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remove ads
A national flag is a one that represents and symbolizes a country or nation-state. Flags — and the related (royal) standards, ensigns, banners, and pennons / pennants — come in many shapes and designs, which often indicate something about what the flag represents, but generally national flags are rectangular or sometimes square-shaped.
Common design elements of flags include shapes as charges — such as crescent moons, crosses, stars, stripes, and suns — layout elements such as including a canton (a rectangle with a distinct design, such as another national flag), and the overall shape of a flag, such as the aspect ratio of a rectangular flag — whether the flag is square or rectangle, and how wide it is — or the choice of a non-rectangular flag. Sometimes these flags are used as a short-hand guide to represent languages on say, tourist information or versions of websites on internet.
Many countries with shared history, culture, ethnicity, or religion have similarities in their flags that represent this connection. Sets of flags in this list within the same category may represent countries' shared connections — as with the Scandinavian countries exhibiting the Nordic cross on their flags — or the design similarity may be a coincidence — as with the red and white flags of 
Indonesia and 
Monaco and 
Poland.
For clarity, unless stated, all flags shown are the civil flag (
− the vexillological symbol of identification from FIAV, Fédération internationale des associations vexillologiques) or the national flag (
) of the nation state / sovereign country recognised as such by the United Nations — the state flags, (
− usually those of the government), along with the flags of autonomous countries, regions, and territories of a UN nation state are annotated in italics as such.
Historical flags are marked with the 
vexillological symbol and flags that are used widely, but without any legal basis (de facto), are marked with the 
vexillological symbol.

Shape and aspect ratio
Summarize
Perspective
Most flags are rectangular / oblong. In Nordic nations, some have swallowtail shapes as the state flag, though the civil flag is oblong. The only nation state to fly a civil flag that is non-rectangular is 
Nepal.
A great many national flags have a single defined aspect ratio. The most common aspect ratio is 2:3, followed by 1:2, with only a few being 1:1 (square-shaped). Some nations' flags have multiple acceptable ratios, or do not define any ratio at all, such as the Union Jack of the United Kingdom having its commonest aspect ratios of 1:2 followed by 2:3.
The following flags have a distinctive specified shape or aspect ratio
Flag of Denmark
— a swallowtail shape particular to Nordic nations
(government/state flag only — civil flag is oblong)
Flag of Iceland
— a swallowtail shape particular to Nordic nations
(government/state flag only — civil flag is oblong)
Flag of Nepal
— 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
Flag of Norway
— a swallowtail shape particular to Nordic nations
(government/state flag only — civil flag is oblong)
Flag of Qatar
— the largest aspect ratio of any national flag — being over 2½ times as long as the height — of 11:28 ≈ 1:2.545
Flag of El Salvador
— the aspect ratio is 189:335 ≈ 1:1.772
(government/state flag — civil flag is without the arms)
Flag of Togo
— the aspect ratio is of Fibonacci's golden ratio that is approximately 1:1.618 ≈ 13:21
Flag of Vatican City
— the aspect ratio was defined as 1:1 in Article 23 of the 2023 Fundamental Law of Vatican City State — square-shaped — the prior flag of 2001→2023 was, but did not have to be square-shaped.[1]
Flag of the Republic of Venice / The Banner of Saint Mark the Evangelist

(La Serenissima / Stato da Màr — 697→1797)
Flag of Venice

Notably, the British Union Jack features in many territorial and sub-national flags usually based on the Red Ensign, (— e.g.
Bermuda), or Blue Ensign, (
— e.g.
New South Wales). The White Ensign (
) is used in a few cases with backgrounds of other colours, (e.g.
The British Antarctic Territory and
Niue), or a unique pattern in the field, (e.g.
The British Indian Ocean Territory and
Hawaii). Notably, the Royal Air Force Ensign is used as the basis for
Fiji and
Tuvalu flags. Some flags use the Union Jack other than at the canton, (e.g.
British Columbia). Unofficial flags (
The Ross Dependency of Antarctica).
