Where are playing out bands buying their banners

[mcapote]

I know a guy on here had a thread months ago making banners for bands, but i cant find it anymore. Where are you guys getting your banners made? I need to get a 4' x 4' banner for my band to hang from the lighting rig behind the drummer.

I took hi-res artwork files to Signs Now and had them crank out some signs on durable plastic material - easy to post where I want them, or to stick on an easel.

yeah i want the i think they are vinyl signs with the grommets for bunji cording up on the light rack, dont necessarily want to use plastic material if its the stuff like the use on lawn signs that im picturing.

I had my band's banner done at Vistaprint.com. I added my own grommets. Total less than $30! Granted it's pretty basic and the vinyl is kinda thin. Not that thick outdoor vinyl. But for something on the cheap, it does the job. Disregard the hanging angle on this particular gig. Had a hard time finding a way to hang it.

yeah i looked at vista , they dont go to the size i want they max out at like 2.5 high and go way long for that height and my logo is rounded (motorcycle back patch style rockers with a center piece) so i rather have a banner squared to pickup the logo better.

In addition to some of the great suggestions listed already, Staples does vinyl banners and so do most outdoor advertising billboard companies.

well mostly band banners used the size of 2.8' x 6' , this size is very attractive for your audience, but if you wanna more big size for your band banners you can get it custom banners, but develop good content for your banners which is very important to get heart touching response from your audience

The last band I was in, back in 96/97, used a white sheet with the logo fabric painted on it. Easy to roll up at the end of the gig, and not too poorly done. Fairly simple design.
I know, old school stuff, but it did the trick.

If you're on a budget, the owner of one of the bars we used to regularly play hit up his Bud Light man, and we got a free 6' x 3' banner - now of course it has a big bud light logo on it!
