The museum banners on the Market Place have changed. The old sky-blue banners, in place since 2011, have now been replaced with deep green ones.

The new design features Abingdon-on-Thames Town Council’s colours and coat of arms, giving it a more formal look.

The previous banner had a lighter, airier look — echoing the blue of the sky, and blending with the background, but less easy to read.

On the old blue banner, ‘MUSEUM’ ran down the flag as one word. On the new green one, the letters are stacked, with the addition of “Free Admission” to make that clear.
