Make Your Event Stand Out With Custom Flags
When you’re planning a special brand event, its fun factor and memorability should be at the forefront. Custom flags for events can provide that ‘wow’ factor to ensure attendees come back for your next one. And arguably, one of the key ingredients for creating that kind of professional, polished, exciting atmosphere is a custom flag.
Advantages of Custom Flags for Events
Custom flags work so well for branding and events because they do the following:
Attract
Hanging flags around your event space will go a long way in making it stand out. They’ll serve to guide people looking for your event and possibly attract passersby who didn’t even know your event was happening!
Create Brand Consistency
No matter the size of your event, it needs to feel like a professional occasion. Tying the space together with consistent colors and logos enhances that feeling. If every space were to have a different appearance, your event would seem haphazard and slapped together.
Improve Communication
Flags are a great way to mark locations and point attendees to specific locations. They can point to different parts of an event space, from presentations to meeting spaces or even just the restrooms. Flags can also contain information about the event timeline, guest speakers, games, vendors, and so on.
Custom Flag for Events Shapes
With Elmer’s Flag, you not only get to choose the graphics and colors for your custom flags but their size and shape, too!
The following list is by no means comprehensive, nor are you restricted to these options, but these represent some of the most common flag shapes people choose:
Rectangular and Square Flags
Traditional rectangle flags provide plenty of space for logos, graphics, and text. Fly them from poles, hang them over balconies, or pin them to a wall, and they’ll get the job done.

Wind Feather, Blade, and Teardrop Flags
Typically, these are used outdoors since their movement in the wind is quite eye-catching. Their long, slender shape makes them excellent for displaying long, horizontal text or images.
Pennants
If your event is nautical or sports-themed, pennants will feel right at home. Whether you want solid colors, specific signals, or want to create your own design, pennants are the flags for you.
Where to Hang Your Flags
Since your custom flags are meant to grab attention, here are some locations that will help them accomplish that:
- Around parking areas
- On lamp posts
- Around the perimeter of the building
- Above doorways
- Near important locations, such as check-in tables
- On and around stages
Essentially, any place that you think could be given some added flare with a flag should get one! Don’t let any corner of your event look drab or unfinished!
