Spanish term or phrase: Banner versus faldón
Another doubt from the graphic design manual. They use both "banner" and "faldón". According to the client, "banner" (they use the English term in Spanish) is, for example, the sign showing the priority entrance for VIP travellers and also a suspended sign for the customer service point, both made of plastic. "Faldón" is used for both a solid sign at the bottom of the check-in counter and also in the press ("strip" or "skirt"?).

Banner versus placard
Explanation:
A bit of a guess...
Maybe they are using the English term and a Spanish one to (creatively) differentiate between two types of banners.
You may do the same and use a synonym (placard, or even, counter placard)

Especially for the 'solid sign at the bottom of the check-in counter'.
With the press, do you mean advertisements in the printed press? They are called banners... http://www.globelink.ca/downloads/news_specs_standard_adform...

Notes to answerer
Asker: I think the problem with press ads is also that, in English, they tend to describe them by their size/shape and not with specific names. As you say, maybe they're using "banner" in English to differentiate... Thanks for the suggestions!

Asker: Thanks for the suggestion - in the end I used "strip" to refer both to press ads and the signs at counters, as they were all horizontal and at the bottom, either of the page or counter. Not ideal but I thought it might at least express the idea!
