A corporate flag works best when it identifies a place or arrival point rather than competing with every other sign on the property.
Choose the viewing moment
Decide whether the flag is meant for drivers, pedestrians, event guests or a building entrance. Viewing distance affects size, contrast and the amount of detail that remains readable.
Respect the flag hierarchy
When a corporate flag appears with national, provincial or municipal flags, follow the appropriate order of precedence and give each flag a suitable pole and position.
Keep the brand consistent
Use approved artwork, colours and proportions. Include replacement planning so a faded corporate flag does not remain beside newer national or provincial flags.
Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
Can a company flag fly beside the Canadian flag?
Yes, in a suitable multi-pole display that respects the Canadian flag’s position and order of precedence.
Should a corporate flag include small text?
Usually not. Simple marks and strong contrast remain more legible at distance and while the fabric moves.
