banners

Fabric declaring allegiance

Banners are large pieces of cloth or other material bearing a symbol, logo, slogan, or message.

They hang from buildings, stretch across streets, or wave at demonstrations.

In digital contexts, a banner is a graphic element spanning the top of a webpage or an advertisement strip: banner ads.

Something done under the banner of a cause is done in its name.

A banner year or banner day is an exceptionally good one.
