I have been intrigued by the Showtime series, Homeland, which has been filming in the Charlotte area this summer. My fifteen-year-old son has been an extra in a mansion scene in Salisbury and in a prep school setting at Queen’s University and I’ve had the opportunity to visit the set. There is a lot of excitement brewing, with makeup artists, lighting technicians, actors, caterers and prop people running about.
Conder Flag has created custom flags for the series, one of them being a Vice Presidential flag shown here. The Flag of the Vice President of the United States consists of the vice presidential coat of arms on a white background, with four dark blue stars in the corners. A version of the flag is kept in the Vice President‘s office, is sometimes displayed by the Vice President in official photos, and is flown on the Vice President’s motorcade.
The first official flag for the Vice President was specified in 1936, although a special design was used at least twice during the 1910s. The flag has shared the same design as the vice presidential seal since 1948, and the current flag dates from 1975 when it was redesigned during Gerald Ford‘s administration.

We also created the Bureau of Prisons flag also shown here. The Federal Bureau of Prisons (often referred to operationally as the BOP) is a federal law enforcement agency subdivision of the United States Department of Justice and is responsible for the administration of the federal prison system. The system also handles prisoners who committed acts considered felonies under the District of Columbia‘s law. The Bureau was established in 1930 to provide more progressive and humane care for federal inmates, to professionalize the prison service, and to ensure consistent and centralized administration of the 11 federal prisons in operation at the time.

Be sure to watch the series this fall starting September 30th on Showtime and look for our custom work taking center stage.
