Name Banner Weathervane
Our Name Banner Weathervane combines the traditional horizontal form of an architectural banner with the individuality of a custom name or inscription. The elongated silhouette creates a strong presence against the sky while personalized lettering gives the weathervane a direct connection to the family, property, business, or building for which it was created.
Handcrafted in copper by SkyArt Studio & Gallery, each Name Banner Weathervane is individually fabricated with careful attention to proportion, balance, lettering, detail, and durability. The silhouette construction produces a crisp, recognizable profile while durable metals are incorporated into the fabrication where needed for strength and long-term outdoor use.
Lettering and inscriptions have long been incorporated into architectural ornament as a way of identifying buildings, businesses, institutions, families, and important dates. When incorporated into a weathervane, the lettering becomes part of the overall design and must remain visually balanced with the proportions of the banner and the architecture below.
The Name Banner Weathervane carries this tradition into a highly personal form of architectural ornament. A family name, property name, business name, initials, date, or other meaningful inscription can become the central design element, creating a weathervane associated with a particular place and the people connected to it.
The proportions of the banner and the size and style of the lettering can be adapted to suit the architecture and expected viewing distance. This is especially important with custom name banners, where readability from the ground must be considered along with the overall appearance of the design.

The Name Banner Weathervane comes with our standard assembly, including two copper balls, brass retainer rings, a brass directional set, and stainless-steel mast. We use high-quality materials and components throughout the assembly with an emphasis on durability, proper function, and long-term outdoor performance.
The finish can be customized in faux bronze, verdigris, or 23-karat gold leaf. Natural copper is also available and will gradually develop its own distinctive patina through exposure to the elements.
