Barbara Carrara Sep 8, 2013:
Phil If 'uso a bandiera' is the phrase, then there is no doubt in my mind that this has to do with the graphic layout, i.e. the right-alignment of the logo. Having the full Italian sentence would help confirming this.

Doesn't it mean something about flags or banners? Could we have the context, please?

When a text - or a logo - is 'a bandiera' or 'sbandierato', it means that it is left-/right-justified.

Right-aligned is another option.

In reply to Phil's comment, here's a couple of .pdfs in Italian where 'a bandiera' appears in corporate image guidelines.

Hi! The graphic refs. come up if you type in 'right-/left-aligned logo'. I've added a couple of Italian corporate identity manuals where 'a bandiera' appears.

Well, thank you, g2!
agree Shabelula : "testo a bandiera" is just fine and used in printing and for computer formatting, but it usually means non-aligned text going left to right - I guess nothing wrong in specifying right-to-left. I've never heard "sbandierato" - eheheh YOUR DAYS...OUR days!

As an obvious synonym of 'a bandiera', 'sbandierato' is also used in publishing and printing (well, it was in my days, anyway). As it is, it can be used with either left or right alignments (check your pc toolbar icons). Grazie!
