Vexillology, the study of flags and banners, is a fascinating field that has gained much attention in recent years. It is no surprise then that there are numerous synonyms and related terms for the discipline. Flagology, the study of flags, is a close synonym for vexillology. Heraldry, which is the study of coats of arms and the like, often overlaps with vexillology, and can be considered a related discipline. Another related term is sigillography, which is the study of seals and sigils, and can be seen as a subset of vexillology. All these terms refer to the study of symbols and their meanings, and the traditions and cultural practices surrounding them.
