Flag designs to liven up sports festivals and field days

Keyboard playerSAKI
I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

For sports festivals and field days, flag designs are often not only chosen from existing options but also decided by soliciting designs from classes or teams.

However, even if you want to submit a design, it can be hard to come up with ideas.

Flower

Flowers that bloom beautifully in a variety of colors are an indispensable motif for decoration, aren’t they? Their colors and shapes differ depending on the type, which makes the process of deciding which flowers to incorporate into a design all the more exciting.

You might also consider focusing on the language of flowers and designing blooms that express your class’s sentiments.

For example, you could create a design that features one large flower to convey energy and impact, or scatter various kinds of flowers to express a gathering of individualities and a sense of unity.

Think about what you want to highlight and shape the design accordingly.

By depicting flowers reaching toward the sky and blossoming grandly, the design can also convey growth and ambition.

steam locomotive

The steam locomotive, which revolutionized logistics and transportation, leaves a strong impression with its rugged design and the way it powers ahead.

Incorporating such a steam locomotive into a flag directly expresses a forward-looking attitude and momentum.

The railway theme conveys a sense of speed, the locomotive’s design emphasizes strength, and the steam billowing out communicates the class’s energy.

Since a black steam locomotive is placed at the center, focusing on the surrounding decorations is recommended to finish the design vividly.

rainbow

How about beautifully decorating the flag with a rainbow design that colors the sky after the rain? It includes a variety of colors, yet its simple, curving shape makes it perfect for flag decoration.

Since the overlapping of colors is part of a rainbow’s charm, drawing it without gaps at the boundaries will help emphasize its vibrancy.

It could also be interesting to make use of color bleeding to aim for a natural gradient.

The idea of many colors coming together as one perfectly suits the scene of a sports festival where members with diverse personalities cooperate and move forward, and it can also convey your class’s unity.

Attack on Titan

Attack on Titan, which originated as a manga and later expanded into novels and an anime.

This dark fantasy follows humanity’s desperate search for survival while being chased by man-eating Titans, and its striking art style is widely recognized, especially among younger audiences.

How about using a parody of it for your sports festival panel idea? The font of the Attack on Titan title is also distinctive, so just mimicking that can easily create an authentic feel.

Give it a try!

Green, evoking nature and abundance

Green, which evokes nature and abundance, is also a perfect color for flags.

It’s said to have a calming effect that eases tension.

So it’s recommended for people who might get nervous before competitions.

If you base your design on green, illustrations inspired by mountains or grasslands will create a refreshing atmosphere.

Adding animals to the design can work nicely, too! By the way, the impression changes quite a lot between light green and deep green, so keep that in mind as well.

The color “yellow” with a lively image

Many people want to create banners for sports festivals and athletic meets that feel full of energy.

For that, I recommend a color scheme based on yellow.

Yellow not only conveys energy, but also gives an impression of fun and lightness! As you can tell from its frequent use in road signs, it’s also a color that attracts attention.

When using yellow as the base, it’s best to choose a slightly brighter shade.

Also, be careful when pairing it with black, as that combination can create a sense of danger.

Blue, which evokes calmness and composure

You want the flag’s design to reflect your team’s character and vibe, right? If you want to evoke calmness and composure, using blue as the base is perfect.

Instead of just making the text or background blue, it’s also great to use the sea or the sky as your theme.

Both make it easier to create a design that feels grand and elegant.

For a sea theme, adding sharks or whales can look even cooler; for a sky theme, drawing hawks or falcons works well.

Be sure to discuss it together and come up with a favorite design!
