Definitely #1. As far as the smaller one goes maybe do both a square and triangle to give some choice? See how those sell and then maybe only offer he one that sold best? I know you guys are paying for this out of your own pocket but just an idea.

@Michael The Mid Atlantic Overland Festival (MAOF) is August 11-14. Do you think we will have any flags ready by then?

I believe so. I just send the following proof to the manufacturer to confirm they can reproduce this. There are just a couple more questions to resolve. Mainly, will they be able to reproduce the yellow color of the reinforced side with rivets. We're cose. By August? Yes definitely. This flag is large, 5' X 3'

Do you have an approximate cost realizing this is a first run and small batch?

Awesome!. I was thinking of using a flagpole, but I might drape this across my front windshield instead. (Thought - window shades with the logo could be made of cheap card board and would ID other OBers)

For those going to MAOF, please stop by and introduce yourself!

I like this idea and I would get one.
I'm assuming the flag and colours would be UV resistant and not fade too quickly?

OK, here is a flag update. I found a manufacturer after going through quite a few. I am having two types made (this is a test). I'm making:

10 3-layer double-sided 3'X5' flags
10 Single sided 2'X3' Flags

I should receive them by the end of May, then determine if the quality is good enough to sell!

Here are the proofs:
