Flags Flying in Llangoed
Llangoed Village Hall will once again have a flagpole! With support from the Balchder Bro project, we will be designing flags to represent our community, celebrate special events and create a visual buzz around our local 114-year-old village hall gathering place.
The flagpole will be launched with a series of ten custom-printed flags. Some of these will be designed by students at Ysgol Gynradd Llangoed and others will be designed by an open design competition. (see below)
Are you curious about graphic design? Do you wonder how logos, banners, posters and graphics on social media are designed? Would you like to try your hand at designing a flag?
June 9th, from 10am - 2pm we will be having a free design workshop at Llangoed Village Hall with artist and designer Ffion Pritchard. Free soup and bread. Refreshments available.
Flags Flying in Llangoed is a project of Plas Bodfa Projects and is supported by Balchder Bro.

About the flags
They will be printed single sided with a mirror image showing through to the reverse side, so be especially careful of text…it will be inverted on the reverse side
Flag Size: 150 cm x 90 cm
To fit your design on a regular A4 sheet of paper horizontally, the size of your sketch would be 29.7 cm x 17.8 cm. We can recommend cutting the paper to this size before starting your design.
The flags will be fitted with a D-ring to fasten the flags to the flagpole rope
The colours in your design can go to the very edge of the flag, but make sure any important elements are at least 1cm from the edge so they are not cut off during printing.
