A flag is meant to represent an event, place, organization or company
. It should be easily distinguishable from near or far away. A flag should be unique to you and your company. When designing a custom flag design you will want to think about some important points before starting.
Make sure your logo is clear and simple. Flag design is important because flags flap in the wind, they are seen from both sides and they must also be able to be visible from a distance. Make sure the design is not too complex or it will not be effective under these circumstances.
Simplify your design by focusing on a single symbol, using only a few colors, sticking to large shapes and limited writing. You also want your flag designs to be recognizable from either side. Avoid putting a different design on the back. The symbol you use in your flag designs should make a statement and distinguish your flag from other flags. You want viewers to be able to recall the design even when not looking directly at your flag.
Limit how many different colors you use in your design. Two to three colors is usually best. Make sure that the colors you do use contrast well and are standard colors. Using more than four colors in your design makes it unnecessarily complicated and can also make the colors hard to distinguish. The fewer words you use the better. Words can be difficult to read on a moving flag. They also cannot be read properly on the back side of a flag. So, it is often recommend that one limit the use of words on flag designs.
