Banner and Flags for Bristol's Fourth of July Parade
Project Type: Banner, Signage
Year: 2022
Old Sturbridge Village's partner museum; Coggeshall Farm, participated in Bristol, Rhode Island's 2022 Fourth of July parade. Bristol puts on the oldest running Independence Day parade in the country. Being located nearby, Coggeshall felt it was appropriate to participate and also get some eyes on their museum, and tasked us with producing a parade banner and some additional flags to carry and wave.
For the banner, it was determined we'd produce it on vinyl, and I designed it to appear as if it was an old textile, with the iconic red, white, and blue theme you would expect. I also put together smaller red flags (ultimately printed onto foamcore), that would be carried by costumed historians/interpreters walking in the parade. These were labeled with decades that Coggeshall covers in their interpretation.
