Banners, Flags, Pennants
originally published in January 2004, reprinted from the heraldry e-list
Here is a wonderful link for help in creating a banner or standard:

Things to remember
Standards are restricted to 2nd and 3rd level Knights.
During the height of the Age of Chivalry, knights' flags had a
pennoncelle attached to them. When this was cut off, the flag became
a banner and the man became a Knight Banneret. This practice is
occasionally used in Adria when a Knight Combattant is elevated to
2nd Level.
Remember that in Adria, you have to be armigerous to display your
arms. You can be made armigerous by (a) being made a Lord or Lady,
(b) getting Knighted, or (c) having the Right to Bear Arms granted to
you by the King.
The only exception to the above is SHIELDS. Anyone who has registered arms with the College of Arms may bear a shield with their arms when they are fighting in the lists.
