What Is a Crest Flag? A Feather Flag Explained

In the world of outdoor advertising, visual impact is everything. Among the many types of promotional tools, crest flags have recently gained attention as a dynamic and eye-catching solution. But what exactly is a crest flag?
To put it simply, a crest flag is another name for the widely popular feather flag—a vertically oriented banner with a curved top and fluttering motion that draws attention from all directions. Whether you’re promoting a business, marking an event, or guiding race participants, crest flags offer unmatched visibility and versatility.
Crest Flag vs. Feather Flag: Are They the Same?
If you've ever searched for crest flags online, you've likely seen a range of images that closely resemble feather flags. That’s because “crest flag” is essentially a variant term used to describe the same feather-like shape. Depending on region or industry, similar flags may also be called quill flags, blade flags, razor flags, or wingtip flags. They all share the same essential structure—a tall, slim, curved flag that sways gracefully in the wind.
At WZRODS, we manufacture all of these styles using the same reliable system and materials, offering customers the freedom to choose the name and format that fits their needs.
