Designing a banner to be read from a distance is a part of sign designing.
The size of your banner, along with the size of the letters and the colors you
choose, will determine how far away people can read your banner. Here is a
chart that will help you estimate how far away your potential customers can
read the letters on your banner.

You can estimate your letter height by checking the grid next to the banner, or if you’re designing a banner in your own software just type your font size in inches.
You don’t want to order or creat an enormous banner with letters that are too big, as people may not be able to see the whole banner at one time if it’s huge, but you also want
to make sure to have large enough letters that people can read the banner without squinting.
It may be helpful to print out a few pages of letters from your computer, measure
how tall each letter is, and then stand back to see what the best reading distance is for your message.
