Custom Flags - Custom Street Banners


Sunday, December 18, 2011
Custom twirler flags have become very common decorative pieces for races and corporate events. Other effective uses for the flags include sprucing up competitions and tournaments. There are several contests where these flags can be found like speech choir, declamation, debate and extemporaneous speaking. If you're considering setting up a speech contest, try to invest in stylish twirler flags. You will find that there are plenty of uses for these.

Many speech contests are done with a time limit. For instance, contestants are provided 15 minutes to prepare before a round of debate or 3 minutes to prepare for a round of extemporaneous speaking. A twirler flag can be used to indicate if 1 minute is left to speak and another flag to end the round.

Custom twirler flags can also be used creatively to send commands to viewers of the contest. Choose a number of colors to represent every contestant so that the crowd can cheer on their favorite when the corresponding flag is raised. Marked flags are also very useful to tell the audience when it's time to cheer and applaud and when they should quiet down. The flag can also be used to tell the audience that they are already too noisy or if it's a contestant's turn to speak. During speech contests, the contestant has to be heard and undisturbed.

Finally, custom twirler flags can function to grab attention and to indicate. Some contests can be interactive and require the contestants to raise the flag first before they can answer or say something. The twirler flags will be very useful to obviously show who would go first.

Have you ever wondered where  feather flags came from? Is it really made of out of feathers? Normally, a flag mounted on ground looks like a feather. Its pole would be more of the shaft of the feather and the flag is the vane. Presumably, the flag’s design has been elaborated for the better condition on displaying as well as advertising.

On the other hand, the traditional flags are on rectangular shape naturally with the canton being placed on upper left corner of the flag and the hoist on the left side attached on the pole. Its sides can be flutter up freely. Flags are meant to be flared up so it would not be good to put on unreadable messages.

Feather flags have a huge area for hoisting than the traditional flags, being attached on the pole vertically. They permit the display text to be more readable. On the other hand, traditional flags are more on weak when it comes to wear and tear, especially when strong winds strike.

Additionally, they are more flexible that’s why they're on the top choice of  people who use them for advertisement purposes. Even the strong wind barely disturbs the flag and it really counts on being flexible enough, flying high against normal weather conditions. Somehow, it is a great choice for sponsors and advertisers especially for events and celebrations. Feather flags have wide range of options and designs depending on the flag text and location.

If you really want to surprise someone, top that gesture off with custom twirler flags. Whether you’re planning a surprise party, a prank or even a marketing campaign guerilla-style, the element of surprise is always a notch easier when you have twirler flags. Now, if you are eager to get started, here are the three top things that you need to remember when you launch your custom flags:

Let the Colors Do It
Your job is half done if you have bright, shocking colors take on the face of your surprise. Don’t worry, if your party has a motif, you may not go beyond that motif by simply converting the color to its neon version. If the motif is blue, use neon blue. If the motif is green, use neon green.
Add a Shocking Message, Too
Use witty banter for the best impression. A shocking message etched in your flag can be a motto or a phrasal summary of whatever it is that you want to say. This works best for marketing campaigns. After all, what’s a bright logo without its slogan, right?

Timing is Everything
Okay so you’re done perfecting your flag. The next thing that you have to worry about is your timing. Plan your timing well so that you can make your investment with your twirler flags count. And, needless to say, the best thing to throw a surprise is when the victim is totally off his or her guards. You can even use custom twirler flags to stage a memorable marriage proposal. Just make sure the timing is golden!
