feather banners - anyone know about 'em

[john]

trying to source a feather banner. Anyone know a good supplier??

A mate who owns a kite shop had some done some years ago for flying at festivals, i helped out with the design that went on it. Look great flapping about in the wind!

Just think you need to remember because of the lightweight material (ripstop nylon of sorts) used that they are fairly transparent once up so the logo will read correct from one side and reversed on the other. Depending on what you want on it exactly you may want to arrange a design to compensate so it can read correct when viewed from either side, even if it's just partially. Large logo's look good either way. It's just small bulk blocks of text that needs thinking about more.

Wow that's the cheapest I've seen by far, might need to commission a Ecurie Macretro one for the race meets.

Is the quality pretty good Mr Rabbit?

 

[john]

Have either of you used any of the listed suppliers?

The guys at kites Up are exelent, I have had kite repairs done by them, and know a few people who have had banners, with no problems.

A plain white background is the cheapest option,and the retrobike logo would work well on plain white

Just normal vinyl banners look rather cheap,£4 off each Mcretro member and we've have our own
