Custom Street Pole Banners - Custom Feather Flags


Friday, February 21, 2014
Spanish message flags, as the name itself, are pieces of cloth that relay message and information to people. One of the most ancient ways used by persons or groups to communicate is through display signals through the use of banners and message flags. Unlike nowadays wherein communication is very convenient through our modern technology, we can receive and relay messages through very small gadgets that we can easily carry around anytime. Message flags, however, were helpful tools to help armies know whether nearby groups of people are their allies or the other way around. Flags like these were raised during wartime to show either attack or surrender.
In addition, Spanish message flags function as an identity along with different kinds of groups. A populated country such as Spain is composed of people divided in smaller groups. Some groups found the need to be identified through use of banners or flags wherein they display symbolisms and/ or text that represent them. An army needs flags to be raised to inform their soldiers what to do, whether to prepare, move, stay or attack. The leader will not need to shout but only needs to hold a flag to signal and the soldiers will follow.
There are plenty of styles of flags that were and are still being used by Spain. Most often these Spanish message flags composed of symbolisms that originated from their history with a good story to tell. These flags are now used for decorative purposes at home and almost anywhere.
