Front Runners Parade Banner
We recently made a parade banner for the New York Chapter of International Front Runners, an LGBT walking/running club. Here's a group photo at one of their most recent runs. Banners are a great way to create a focus for your group, as you can see.
Barnes and Noble Outdoor Advertising Banner
These appliqued banners were made for Barnes & Noble's Manhattan flagship store. You will notice that the top of the banner is angled to match the angle the pole. This differentiates the banner from a flag. A custom flag installed on the pole in this photo would be rectangular in shape (no angle on top) because flags are expected to wave in the breeze; whereas a banner is expected to move somewhat, but remain open and readable. This is why most flag designs are very simple -- a logo or seal of some kind, a simple bold message.
Advent Church - Top and Bottom Advertising Banners
These series of vertical banners were made for Advent Church. These are nice examples of advertising banners in that they announce the location of the church, and they make a great use of color. The contrast here is excellent. These are also examples of kind of banner install called 'top-bottom' poles. Banners installed in this way don't move in the breeze, so they tend to last longer. These sorts of banners tend to be narrow.
Fordham Groundbreaking Scaffold Banners
Fordham University hosted a groundbreaking event for its new campus in Manhattan. To decorate the wooden barricade that surrounded the site Ace Banner manufactured vinyl construction banners. The images alternated between inspirational quotations, the Fordham logo, and artists' renderings of the future site.
These banners are a great example of how banners can turn barriers into something inviting and exciting -- something that really engages the surrounding community.
The Heschel School Banner
The above image is of a banner we made for The Heschel School, located in New York City.
It was printed on a matte poly knit fabric on our new, 102" wide direct-to-fabric printer.
The banner was finished with a polehem on the top edge.
APICHA Parade Banner
Here's a group photo featuring a parade banner that was made for The Asian & Pacific Islander Coalition on HIV/AIDS (APICHA). This is a relatively large parade banner, but it can also serve double duty as a wall banner for other events. We recommend that parade banners be approximately 30 inches in height so that they are easier to hold and carry during a parade.
