Simple designs offer greater impact. Because a flag is often seen at a distance of 100 feet or more, it's important to display a clear visual message. Minimal lettering, or none at all avoids a cluttered look. Choose well-balanced colors that use contrast to advantage. Use a symbolic impression rather than photographic details to increase the flag's statement.
Borders are often costly and restrict the beauty and durability of the finished flag.
Consider a single thickness flag for better wear and flyability. 1st - Make a rough sketch of the general layout of the flag. It doesn't have to be a professional drawing, just a simple sketch will do. 2nd - If a design or emblem is to be used, include a clear copy, large enough to show the details so that our artists can copy it accurately.
