Banners

School banners for open days, events and the gate

A banner has a harder job than a prospectus. It is often read from a moving car, across a playground, or in a busy hall on an open evening. The school name, the date and the invitation have to be obvious at a glance, and the design still has to look like your school, not like a generic display.

School Logo designs banners and other large-format materials for UK schools: roll-up banners for indoor events, PVC and mesh banners for fences and gates, hoardings and boards for building work or open days, and large displays for fairs, performances and sports events. As a certified School Jotter partner, we will also make sure the typography, colour and logo usage match your website and printed materials.

We start with where the banner will stand and how close people will be. A roll-up beside a reception desk can carry more detail than a fence banner on the main road. We will ask about fixing points, sizes, weather, and whether you need the same design in several formats. If you already have stands or existing hardware, we will design to those sizes rather than make you start again.

The design itself should be simple: a strong headline, a well-drawn logo, a short supporting line, and photography that still holds up at scale. We avoid packing a banner with as much text as a flyer. If you need a full list of times, directions or the curriculum offer, we will usually suggest a printed handout or a QR code to a page on your website, rather than shrinking the type.

We prepare artwork at the correct size and resolution for large-format production, with bleeds and safe areas marked, and we can work with your usual supplier. If you need a set of banners plus posters, invitations and social graphics for the same open day, we can design them as one campaign so the message stays consistent from the first Facebook post to the boards on the gate.
