Recruiting Banner Ideas

PhoenixRisen · October 14, 2011, 08:35:56 PM

My squadron is going to get a new recruiting banner made up for events that we go do, and I'd like to do something a bit more catchy than the last one we had (very, very plain). If anyone has any pictures of banners your units use, and wouldn't mind posting them for inspiration, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Keep it simple and plain.

A few I've done (some of the graphics are outdated).

These were all printed on the typical 6-8 foot vinyl banner material.

In the above examples, I'm not sure we have the authority to display the Air Force logo on our banners. I would think on one side of the banner would be on of the CAP logos (take a pick) and the other would be the appropriate unit or wing patch. Otherwise not bad at all

Thanks for the examples, BTW -- sharp, yet simple enough to be doable on the printing equipment we've got.

You're welcome to the .psds if you want them.

If you could send me the one in the middle, I'd be more than grateful!

heh.

Now why does that one thing have the CAP Transformers Slogan?

It is "of the era"...

I always liked that motto, sent link to you via email.

Please make sure to replace the graphics, though, on both sides, with the updated / correct versions.

I had this one made a few months ago. Looks really sharp.

Eclipse · October 15, 2011, 02:15:59 AM

You misspelled "EMERGENCY"...

Well the banner is suppose to be a Civil Air Patrol recruitment banner, not a USAF recruiting banner. Although apparently authorized, by our regulation, our appropriate logos indicate that we are an Aux of the USAF and that should be sufficient. We don't need to over emphasize the USAF aspect of it, unless of course we are out to recruit the "wanna bee" faction. :angel:

I guess I'm a wannabe, then. I wouldn't have joined CAP had it not been for the military affiliation. Sue me. ...and while I love the CAP and plan to stay with it 'till I'm old and grey, had I found something more "hardcore" and more closely integrated with their parent service than CAP is, I probably wouldn't be a member right now. Sue me again.

JC004 · October 16, 2011, 04:32:44 AM

The Air Force should only be represented once. Otherwise, it's a wannabe banner.

Thank you
