Banner

A banner is a flag or other piece of cloth bearing a symbol, logo, slogan or other message. A flag whose design is the same as the shield in a coat of arms (but usually in a square or rectangular shape) is called a banner of arms.

Banner-making is an ancient craft. Church banners commonly portray the saint to whom the church is dedicated.

The word derives from French word "bannière" and late Latin bandum, a cloth out of which a flag is made (Latin: banderia, Italian: bandiera, Portuguese: bandeira, Spanish: bandera). The German language developed the word to mean an official edict or proclamation and since such written orders often prohibited some form of human activity, bandum assumed the meaning of a ban, control, interdict or excommunication. Banns has the same origin meaning an official proclamation, and abandon means to change loyalty or disobey orders, semantically "to leave the cloth or flag".

Vexillum

The vexillum was a flag-like object used as a military standard by units in the Ancient Roman army. The word vexillum is a diminutive of the Latin word, velum, meaning a sail, which confirms the historical evidence (from coins and sculpture) that vexilla were literally "little sails" i.e. flag-like standards. In the vexillum the cloth was draped from a horizontal crossbar suspended from the staff; this is unlike most modern flags in which the 'hoist' of the cloth is attached directly to the vertical staff.

Tug Banner

A tug (Mongolian: туг tug [tʰʊɡ]), or a sulde (Mongolian: сүлд, sulde), usually called a Tug Banner, is a pole with circularly arranged horse or yak tail hairs of varying colors arranged at the top. It was flown during the period of the Mongol Empire, and presently in Mongolia, used similarly to a flag.

A white-haired banner is used as a peacetime symbol, while the black banner was for wartime. Usage of the horse tail is symbolic because horses are so central to the Mongols' livelihood. This is similar to the use of horse tail hairs for the morin khuur.

History

The original white banner disappeared early in history, but the black one survived as the repository of Genghis Khan's soul. The Mongols continued to honor the banner, and Zanabazar (1635–1723) built a monastery with the special mission of flying and protecting the black banner in the 17th century. Around 1937, the black banner disappeared amidst the great purges of the nationalists, monks and intellectuals, and the destruction of monasteries.

    Banner

    by: Lights

    Maybe it's bricks and mortar now, whether or not they
    run it down
    I don't want anything to shake that shape away
    No one told us which way to come, nobody mapped
    oblivion
    So I go growing roses in the disarray
    Just like most, falling head in
    'Till my ghost fills the bed in
    So lift it up like a banner
    Hold it up over me
    If this war is never ending
    I'll take this love down with me
    Like a banner
    I don't need fate to give it time, it doesn't take pain
    to change your
    Mind
    No weapon can sever the soul from me
    Not the sorceress, not the money
    All my cleverness, all my cunning
    So lift it up like a banner
    Hold it up over me
    If this war is never ending
    I'll take this love down with me
    Like a banner
    It's around me in my surroundings
    It counts me when it starts the counting
    In the chaos there is a standard
    I'm carrying it like a banner
    So lift it up like a banner
    Hold it up over me
    If this war is never ending
