PROTOCOLE OF PAKISTA PAKISTANI FLAG

Name
Flag of the Crescent and Star

Adopted
August 11, 1947

Design
A white star and crescent on a dark green field, with a vertical white stripe at the hoist The green represents Islam and the majority Muslims in Pakistan and the white stripe represents religious minorities and minority religions. In the centre, the star symbolizes progress and light respectively. The flag symbolizes Pakistan's commitment to Islam and the rights of religious minorities. It is based on the original flag of the Muslim, which itself drew inspiration from the flag of the Sultanate of Delhi and the Munhall Empire in India and the flag of the Ottoman Empire.

Construction
Draw a diagonal L3 from the top right hand corner to the bottom left corner of the green portion. On this diagonal establish two points P1 and P2. P1 is positioned at the centre of the green portion and P2 at the intersection of the diagonal L3 and an arc C4 created from the top right hand corner equal to 13/20 the height of the flag [E]. With the centre at point P1 and a radius 3/10 the height of the flag describes the first circle C1 and with centre at point P2 and a radius 11/40 the height of the flag describes a second circle C2. The enclosures made by these two circles form the crescent. The dimensions of the five-pointed pointed white heraldic star are determined by drawing a circle C3 with a radius 1/10 the height of the flag positioned between P2 and P3 on the diagonal L3. The circle surrounds the five points of the heraldic star and star lies with one point on the diagonal L3 at point P3 where the circle C1 intersects the diagonal L3.
