Flags and banners are just two of the many tools we can use to publicize our business, endorse a product, make an announcement, mark a celebration or an important event, inform people and a lot more.

These days we have loads of different ways and means to do all of these things. We have the internet, which is also known as the information superhighway. Most people, especially the younger generation find the internet as the most convenient way to get information from, particularly those social networking sites available.

We also have a lot of message flags and other banners. And who can ignore the print media? It includes, of course, the newspapers, magazines, brochures, leaflets, mailing lists and the like--- very traditional and yet older people prefer the old ways. The TV and radio are still here. Signs and displays, like billboards that cover the entire city and neon signs at night which have some blinding effects because of its sheer volume.

Going out on a bright sunny day also means having a feast for the naked eye. Avenue and street banners, corporate logo flags, hotel flags, custom flags and all kinds of banners abound and flood the streets. Some would appreciate these things as a way to educate and inform them, but there also some that would see advertising paraphernalia as things that block our eyes from seeing the beauty of the city. Regulation is the solution. Too much of anything is not good. Therefore it is just a matter of making things work harmoniously for a better and a more livable society.
