I think you mean a standard (the really long banners, though it's more a matter 
f the kingdom's ensign closer to the pole, and then whatever badge[s] and/or 
otto[s] are appropriate on the rest of the banner, rather than a requirement 
hat every territory be represented; Atlantians sometimes use the populace badge 
Spike] instead of the ensign [which looks like http://aeg.atlantia.sca.org/projects/poppies/atlantia-ensign.jpg]).
A "pennon" is a much smaller flag, usually either kinda triangular or 
wallow-tailed at the end opposite the pole, often with barely room enough for 
ne badge; I think the original idea behind a pennon is a small flag for one's 
ance. :-)


An SCA example of a pennon and of a standard using the Atlantian ensign can be found at this link:
