Engraved Banner Maker

Your business name set inside a drawn scroll banner on parchment. Type the name, pick the typeface, ink, size and position, and download it ready to write.

Loading the designer…

Every other maker here sets your initials. This one sets your name — the first mark in the library that takes a whole wordmark, which is why it lives with the logo makers rather than the monograms. The banner art is fixed and the name is the variable, so the type is solved to fit the ribbon each time you type.

Common questions

How long a name will fit in the banner?

Up to 28 characters. The scrolled ends are fixed, so rather than letting a long name overflow, the type sizes itself down as you add characters — a short trading name sets large, a longer one sets smaller but still fits cleanly.

Why do the typeface tiles show “Ab” instead of my name?

A whole business name repeated across eight tiles would be too small to judge. A two-character specimen shows the letterforms at a size you can actually read, which is what you are choosing between.

Is this only for old-fashioned trades?

No. The body copy is written in a period register because that is the letterhead the banner lives on, but every line is editable — it suits a bakery, a bookshop, a workshop, or a practice that wants to look established.
