[[File:Flag on Mun.png|thumb|A flag on the [[Mun]] with a custom made flag (the flag of the [[w:File:Flag of the United Federation of Planets.svg|United Federation of Planets]] in this case)]]
 
A '''flag''' is the image on the flags appearing at various places. There are two [[flagpole]]s, flags in the [[VAB]] and [[SPH]], [[Extend-o-matic Series A1 Deployable Flag]]s, and with [[0.23.5]] flags can be shown on parts. By default, there are 26 available flags, counting the Minimalist flag. These flags are:
 
: 09, Blorbs, Bullseye, Capsule, Circles, Default, Hexagon, Hexagon Circles, Kerbal 1, Kerbal 2, Kerbin, Kerbin-Mun Flag, Line, Minimalistic, Orbit, Orbs, Retro, Rings, Rocket Science, Satellite, Spheres, Squad Logo 1, Squad Logo 2, Stripes, Trees, and Trippy.
 
  
All default flags are located in <code>[[GameData]]/Squad/Flags</code> although other mods can add their own images in their own directory (<code>GameData/<mod>/Flags</code>). New flags can be added and used if it is placed in this or similar folder. A flag filename can have spaces; underscores are not required to separate words.
 
 
Some of the images are based on posters from the [[w:International Year of Astronomy|2009 International Year of Astronomy]], while one is based Signalnoise's unofficial mission patches and another flags are based on animator and director David O'Reilly.<ref name="blog">“[[blog:321|Flags]]” blog entry by danRosas</ref>
 
 
The manufacturer's logos are also available as flags, starting from version [[0.24]].<ref>“[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRUEOdliFns Kerbal Space Program - Early Access Look At Update v0.24]” by Scott Manley released on July 14, 2014</ref>
 
 
== Properties ==
 
[[File:Flag dimensions.svg|thumb|left|Flag dimensions]]
 
A flag is a PNG image with a width of 256 pixels and a height of 160 pixels. While the image format does allow for partial and full transparency, this will not show up in the game; rather, partial transparency will appear as a solid color and full transparency will appear white. As a result, all flags must be the standard shape and for example, the [[w:Flag of Nepal|Nepalese flag]] or the squared [[w:Flag of Switzerland|flag of Switzerland]] could not be used in the game without adding white space.
 
 
== Minimalistic ==
 
[[File:Flag wrinkled.png|thumb|Although the original image was the Retro style, it shows the wrinkled pattern similar to this flag]]
 
The Minimalist flag, while it can be selected, appears as the default flag when planted. Some people say that the minimalist flag is overlaid onto non-default flags for realism, and while all non-default flags do bear wrinkles in the same pattern, changing this file won't change the appearance of the other flags. Most likely the game holds a similar image to this flag somewhere internally with integrated alpha channel to combine both flags. Oddly enough, the default flag does not have this overlay; rather, it is already part of the flag's .png image. This suggests that a flag named default.png will be left untouched; as a result, players can exploit this in order to have solid colors.
