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. 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 the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. The black and green colors also represents the contrast between the Durrani Empire and the Mughal Empire.
