If you have gone to schooling and have been quite active in the school’s events, you may have probably gone into one of the varsity games and rooted for your school’s team. Most probably there are many schoolmates there whom you do not even know but nevertheless find yourself to be casually chatting away, especially when you determine that they are also supporting the same team, probably by seen them carry a similar custom flag.
The idea of association and affiliation – a connection through symbolic means is not a new phenomenon, especially in our economically branded community. Being able to associate one’s self into a collective group or representation – perhaps by a brand logo or the like is very common nowadays. The use of custom flags as media for these brand associations, and subsequent connections between people is a social phenomenon which proves that we are a social being.
Not only through custom flags are brand names and logos used, but also with other things like broad surfaces of products and merchandise sold to the public, audio, and video presentations, and corporate branding on any form of media possible. While there are many avenues for social connection through association, custom flags are some of the most cost effective means to get the message across the public eyes.
Also, not only are connections set through merchandise and products, but technically with almost everything that may be represented in existence. A national holiday? A well placed and propagated logo on a custom flag would do wonders to make it a “trademark” or a household name with the public. What is definitely needed is a representation, medium, and the recipients’ acknowledgment.
