I will try to take a picture tonight and post it. It is good quality and was a great price. WVHighlander if you will PM me your email I will be more than happy to help you with the process. If you would like to talk on the phone please include your number and a time that would be good for you.

Below you will see the graphics for by banner, pennon and standard.

I decided to do just black fringe on the banner because finding alternating color fringe is not easy.
You will see this on the picture I take tonight.

Glen Allardyce helped me with my pennon.

The next project I am having made is my standard and I go to the flag shop this afternoon to go over the final details.

Love your standard! Who did the graphics?

Are all four of the changes on the fly badges?

**Harold Cannon** · 31st October 12, 12:42 PM

I did, except for the bear on the arms, do the graphics for the standard and all four are my badges.

The bear on my arms was done by Kenneth Mansfield when he helped me design my arms.

The holly is my plant badge as well as my clan's plant badge.

The torse with the four maltese crosses happens to be what I use on paperwork.

The bear badge I will have made into pins eventually for my famiy.

Then the torse with the lochaber axe is the one I use as a property mark and I have a way to pour this in pewter.

Harold - What material did you have your banner made of? For a banner to be made locally it costs about $200 for an off-screen printed on nylon.

**Harold Cannon** · 31st October 12, 05:11 PM

Thats about right! I paid $200 for my banner but it will be a little more for the 12 foot long standard. It is a thin nylon and the standard will de 200 denier nylon.

Here is my banner. It did not come with fringe so I added it later. I decided on solid black fringe just to be different and my cords and tassels are black as well.

The rest of the line goes, "...excepting always the authority of this my office." and is part of the granting text used on letters patent emanating from the Irish Office of Arms.
