Such charges include large central emblems, full-field crosses and saltires, and sweeping geometric devices that touch all four edges. All-over charges produce instantly recognisable silhouettes and are favoured in modern flag design for their legibility.<\/p>\n<p>**Example**: The maple leaf on the flag of Canada is an all-over charge that fills most of the central white band.<\/p>\n<p>**See also**: [charge](\/glossary\/charge\/), [field](\/glossary\/field\/), [geometric-construction](\/glossary\/geometric-construction\/), [defacement](\/glossary\/defacement\/)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-635","term","type-term","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flags.page\/sl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/term\/635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flags.page\/sl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/term"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flags.page\/sl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/term"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flags.page\/sl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
