Forward Together - Keep in Step by Saving (Post Office Savings Bank)
Dozens of national flags, among them the Union Jack, the US, Soviet, Chinese and Greek flags, fly in diagonal ranks above the slogan 'Forward together - keep in step by saving'. The crowd of flags is the bandwagon tell: the saver is shown joining a marching coalition, and 'forward together' is a virtue phrase that names no specific ask beyond the bank named in the banner.
