Even Dr Phil can’t help, but maybe you can. Anyone, so here are the options. here
I have been caught in a design loop now for about a year. I want to design a Burgee for the bow of our boats and can’t decide which design to do? After all our logo has a burgee on it. A little red flag with a white star.
In real life from a distance more
So, in a way that should be the burgee? Right? OR….. is it the W logo that we use on the app, the header and all over the place. Thats our logo?
The white star is from the Titanic as part of White Star lines and well. Kinda Generic. But its clean and simple and in a way our mark as a flag, so we should make the loop?

This would be Ottoman Empire to me. It's on Tableau des Pavillions de le nations que aborent à la mer 1756 as Pavillon e l'Empereur des Turcs, with the crescents in three orientations, but I've seen depictions with three in a row as well, though I can't recall the direction for that case.

In the Winter 2003 issue of the "Flagmaster" (number 111) they feature the Barnes Flag Sheet, published in Philadelphia in 1837. On pages 10-11 they reproduce the sheet and it shows a banner from Mecca that is green with three white crescents. Is this the one you are looking for?

Eh? Although the discussion was derailed by some wild speculation ranging geographically far from relevance, I see nothing coming forward yet that moves this out of the realm of fiction. The film "The Wind and the Lion" was loosely - very loosely - based on the Perdicaris Affair of 1904 in Morocco. Here are some toy soldiers inspired by the film, including Berbers carrying a flag. Here is an image from the film showing several flags, including one that closely matches the toy version (six crescents).
Several books have been written about the Moroccan Crisis and the Berber chieftain Raisuli. If anybody has the time and inclination, we might be able to establish from photographic what flags, if any, Raisuli's Berber clansmen carried. In the meantime, the flags in the movie remain "flags in fiction" for lack of further documentation.

The original Manhattan Yacht Club burgee has been preserved since the Club’s founding in 1987. This burgee sailed around Cape Horn twice with French sailing legend Guy Bernardin who was trying to break the NY to San Francisco sailing record. After its second rounding, the burgee was retired and is brought out once per year to fly over the annual Commissioning Ceremony in spring.
The ceremony of hoisting the flags at 8.00 am and dousing at sunset is call “making colors”. When shorthanded, the national ensign should be hoisted first, followed by the club burgee and the officers flags if they are present at the club (on deck). All officers’ flags are hoisted on the same starboard halyard, highest rank on top. Colors are hoisted smartly but lowered ceremoniously. Many yacht clubs salute the lowering of the colors with a cannon shot. Flags such as Race Committee flags, Gale warning flags, and special purpose flags can also be flown at a yacht club flagpole.
When mariners started crossing the oceans, flags were an important communications tool between ships when at sea and even ashore. Lives depended on correct interpretation of their meaning, especially on fighting ships. Today, proper use of flags is not just a way to identify vessels and boating organizations, but to give important instructions, make announcements, warn of approaching storms, and mostly to honor and keep alive the naval traditions and seamanship spirit of those sailors that preceded us.
Photo: Frequent use of the Club’s cannon was seen during the 30th Anniversary Tour in 2018 when it is was fired every day at sunset.
