Scope and ContentThe banner material is red.
Text
The bulk of the banner consists of text giving the name of the society; spread over five lines, all centralised. All of the text is in a large, uppercase font, coloured white
Line 1: "Amalgamated Society"
These words are arranged in an arch.
Line 2: "Of"
This is directly beneath the top line, in the middle of the underside of the arch. This line, like the remainder of the text, reads in a straight line. On either side of it are four arrow-like shapes - also slightly arched - that become progressively sharper as they travel outwards.
Line 3: "Wood-Cutting "
Line 4: "Machinists"
The font of these two lines is larger than the rest of the text.
Beneath this line is a symmetrical pattern consisting of a white circle broken down the middle, with a long pattern of wave-like curves emanating in both directions.
Line 5: "London District Committee".
These words are directly beneath the above-mentioned pattern.
