NOTE: MAJOR UPDATE, CHARGES NOW DIVIDED INTO FIXED AND MOBILE, LATTER MOVED TO ANNEX GALLERY

This gallery uses as its organizing rubric a set of terms and concepts derived mostly from the Western heraldic tradition. The main sets of these terms are five: #Divisions of the field, #Variations of the field, Charges, #Variations of Charges, and #Lines of division and variation. (The sixth main set, #Overall Shape of the Flag (Nonrectangular variants) is mainly not derived from heraldic tradition.) The advantage of this approach is that flag design (vexillography) in Greater Europe and its former colonies is largely an adaptation of the conventions of Western heraldry used to decorate shields as markers of identity. The heraldic tradition provides an elaborated and intricated set of terms whose scope is far greater than those that have been developed from the study of flags alone, without reference to the traditions from which it derives. This set of terms allows us to recognize, and thus think and discuss a great variety of individual flag elements. It allows us to parse complex designs into their constituent components. A disadvantage is that it is less appropriate to flag designs that derive from other traditions, such as Japanese prefectural and municipal flags, Liberian county flags, and newer genres of design derived from corporate logos, etc.

The purpose of the gallery is to serve as an aid to the practice of flag design and for the study and teaching of flag design, flag history and geography, etc. Items have been selected because they are the most well known, the most representative, or particularly unique, interesting, well-executed or illustrative examples of the incorporation of particular (often heraldic) elements into flag design. The aim is to sketch out a space of possibility for design with these elements rather than to provide an exhaustive listing of all instances.

For the purposes of identification, where possible, links will be provided to more specialized galleries and category pages that have more comprehensive listings. This latter work is ongoing.

NOTE: Because of size limitations, this gallery contains only fixed charges - a term introduced here for what in heraldry are termed ordinaries and sub-ordinaries. These charges either span the length and breadth of the field or fixed to an edge of the field, typically spanning the length or breadth of that edge. The exception are the charged plain fields, these feature mobile charges. The annex gallery, Gallery of flags by design II: Mobile charges, catalogues mobile charges, those that can be placed anywhere on the field. It also contains sections on the arrangement and orientation of the placement of mobile charges on the field.

Fur tinctures

edit

Note: In European heraldry, 'furs' such as ermine and vair are technically tinctures (colors) and not variations of the field. However, in form they resemble variations of the field and so are placed here.

Ermine

edit

Note: Some examples below are variations of charges, charges erminée - charges such as cantons, chiefs, crosses, sides, bends, bordures, wedges, escutcheons, etc. And in some, the ermine spot is itself treated as a charge.

 See also category: Flags with ermine fur-skins.

Vair

edit

Note: Like the ermine above, in European heraldry the vair is technically not a variation of the field but a 'tincture' (color) of a particular type - a 'fur'. Note also that for some examples below, vair is used as variation of charge, etc.

edit

Note: Not a traditional heraldic variation of the field.

Charges, Fixed

edit

Pale

edit

Note: Because of the fundamental ambiguity of ordinaries as both charges and divisions of the field, the pale as such is treated as a division of the field above (see #Divisions of the field > #Triband, vertical (Tierced in pale)), while here the diminutives of the pale are treated as charges.

edit

Couple-close as charge

edit

Concave kite ('arrowhead', 'dart', 'V')

edit

Note: This is not a traditional heraldic ordinary, but is particular to vexillography. In many cases, it can also be thought of as the superimposition of a wedge upon a pile, or alternately blazoned as a double party per chevron type division of the field. It shares that with the chevron, so it is placed here.

Tau (t-shape)*

edit

*Term introduced here for field-spanning charge resembling a simple tau or Saint Anthony's cross, often appearing to represent the letter tau or 't'. In French heraldry, the flag of Tarn would likely be blazoned 'chef-pal', or 'chief-pale', the others possibly 'flanc-fasce', or 'side-fess'.

Variations of Charges

edit

Fimbriation

edit

Note: fimbriation can also be used to offset #Divisions of the field, #Variations of the field and other #Variations of charges, in addition to #Charges.

Fimbriation that breaks the rule of tincture

edit

Fimbriated charges that are the same color as the field

edit

Some of these are sometimes regarded as cases of #Voiding

Cost

edit

Cottising or cost overlaying fimbriation or other elements

edit

See also #Adjacent to resarcelé and #Triple fimbriation

Other cottise-like variation

edit

Resarcelé

edit

NB: In French heraldry, to be 'resarcelé' is to be an ordinary that is charged with an orle. Sometimes cottising is descriptively blazoned as 'resarcelée du champ' - charged by an orle 'of the field'. (See Leduc de Nirvède). And, in at least one instance, the fimbriation of a charge that is the same color as the field is blazoned 'resarcelée'. But the term alone and in most contexts refers neither to cottising nor fimbriation as such.

Adjacent to resarcelé

edit

Flags that feature an inner line of variation that does not trace the full outer border of the charge. In French heraldry, they could be blazoned as resarcelée. In Anglophone vexillology, some prefer the term 'double-fimbriated'
