5 Feather Flag Design Tips
As a company that performs feather flag printing on a regular basis, we have an experienced insight into what does or doesn’t work when it comes to feather flag banner design.
Take a look at our Top 5 Feather Flag Design Tips that are proven to generate the best possible outcome when you use feather flags to promote your business:
1. Keep the Design Simple
Feather flags are often viewed from a distance, so it’s vital that you keep the design clear and easy to read. Use large, bold text and avoid a cluttered look with too many images or details.
2. Use Contrasting Colors
Make sure your text and images stand out. If the background is dark, use light-colored text (or vice versa). Complimentary colors can also help create visual impact.
3. Incorporate Your Branding
Include your brand colors and logo for instant recognition. Consistency is key, so ensure your feather flag design matches your other marketing materials.
4. Consider Placement
Think about where your flag will be displayed. Viewing distance and the surrounding environment should influence your design so it’s both effective and visually appealing.
5. Have a Clear Message
Your flag should communicate a simple, compelling message or call to action. Ensure text and images work together to encourage customers to take the desired step.

Can I Use Feather Flags Both Indoors and Outdoors?
Feather flags can easily be used both inside and outside of your business. You still need to follow the design tips we shared but you can also think about using different fabrics for indoor banners since they are not impacted by the weather.
In addition, indoor banners are often used for aesthetic purposes or for wayfinding. This is a good marketing strategy but consider any strategic elements that can influence how you think about the design for your feather flags.

How Big Should My Feather Flags Be?
We will start this section with the honest answer that your choices are usually limited to the standard set of sizes for feather flags. However, the design can make a greater impact if it is on a larger flag in close proximity to the viewer. On the other hand, you need to consider the flag viewing distance for customers who are not close to it. If the flag is too small, it will be hard to read.
Please note these sizes are approximate averages. There are other sizes that we may offer so contact us to find out which ones.
- 2’-6” x 15’-5” (18.5ft from the ground to the top of the flag)
- 2’-4” x 11’-6” (14.5ft from the ground to the top of the flag)
- 2’ x 9’-6” (13ft from the ground to the top of the flag)
- 1’-6” x 5’-6” (8ft from the ground to the top of the flag)
The amount of creativity you can put into your feather flag design is unlimited. No matter the scope of your design efforts, follow the tips we’ve shared here to generate the results you want from custom feather flag printing. If you need help, please give us a call.
