Odyssey Banners

Did you like the banners on display in the arena at Odyssey? Photos by Chiara here and here. Here's how to make some of your own (plus some extra iconography that's suitable for each culture that you might like to use for banners or shield designs). Each main national icon is provided as a vector file as an attachment to this page (scroll to the bottom).

Gold trim used is described on ebay as "BERISFORDS HONEY GOLD BARLEY TWIST ROPE X 20 METRE ROLL"

If you want to make yours the exact same size as the arena banners then the dimensions are 3m x 36" (the width of the fabric). Or scale down as appropriate.

Carthage

National colour: pale blue.  The canvas I used was from ebay seller batya_1 who regularly has all the Odyssey canvasses in stock. Described as "36" rip stop waterproof heavy blue CANVAS fabric". However, be aware that it is much darker in reality than the image would suggest and I had to put it through the washing machine twice with some bleach to get the sky blue colour of the Carthage banner.
