       the THIRD decision the MESSAGE

      In addition to being a decorative hanging, a banner speaks.

      The very nature of fabric hanging loosely, moving with every breath of air, free to flow, to sway, to flap, speaks of freedom, of motion, of aliveness.

       what can a BANNER say and do?

produce a mood, an atmosphere of welcome, joy, solemnity, peace, quiet, excitement, celebration, thoughtfulness, devotion, inspiration
proclaim hope, victory, praise, good news, a message, a slogan, a motto, a challenge, a prayer, glories of the past, action in the present, visions for the future
affirm the faith, an ideal, the truth
identify an event, a group, a season, an organization

      TWO KINDS

Image Image

       the MESSAGE through WORDS

Image

      In this age of literacy, the most universally understood symbols are words. Words may be the only symbols on a banner. Often a thought that must be proclaimed through words speaks more emphatically without additional symbols.

      Designing with letter forms alone can be as challenging a problem as arranging other kinds of shapes or symbols. The resulting banner can be rich, colorful, and decorative.

      Study the letters on the following pages to help you create an attractive hanging.

      Often a banner expressing an idea through shapes and symbols will be made more meaningful through the addition of a word or phrase as a key to its interpretation.

      Examples: JOY, PEACE, PAX, LOVE, REJOICE, ALLELUIA, SHALOM, AMEN

      Banners for saints, seasons, historical characters, or groups may be identified with a name.

       Examples:

      Image ST. PETER

      Image ST. MARY’S CHURCH

      Image CATHEDRAL OF ST. JOHN

      Image ST. HILDA’S GUILD

      Image TRINITY PREP

      Image THE WESLEY CLASS

      Image THE BELL RINGERS

      Image FEAST OF LIGHTS

      Image REDEEMER CHURCH

      Image ST. CECELIA CHOIR

      For banners with a religious theme, the Scriptures, hymns, psalms, liturgies, and canticles are sources of meaningful words. The phrases are countless, the translations many.
