About the flag

The flag shown is a proposed flag for Islamabad - the capital of Pakistan.

The flag for Islamabad - capital of Pakistan - is primarily based on the National Flag of Pakistan. The diagonal design is to differentiate it from the national flag. The square shape is to make the triangles symmetric. The star and crescent are 'regular' as in the national flag. They look stretched because of my poor drawing skills (sorry for that). The black colour is added to give it a distinct look. Black was the colour used for the flag at the time of the conquest of Makkah by our Holy Prophet, Muhammad (Peace be upon him).
