Banner

Common last name

A banner is a long strip of cloth or other material bearing a symbol, slogan, or design, typically hung or carried in a procession or demonstration.

Banners announce, celebrate, or identify: Protesters marched under banners demanding change.

The word extends to any prominent display, especially the rectangular advertisements that appear across websites.

As an adjective, banner describes something outstandingly successful: a banner year for the company.

Headlines that stretch across a newspaper's full width are called banner headlines.
