A '''Banner''', in Diablo III, is a vanity "[[item]]" that shows the [[achievements]] the player has gained throughout their playtime in a physical manifestation, as well as offering some gameplay functions.

To quote an official FAQ on the matter:
<blue>'''Q: What is the banner system?'''
A: Think you're better than all of your friends? Your banner will prove it. The banner system will be a visual representation of the achievements players earn across all of their Diablo III characters on their Battle.net account. A player’s banner will have multiple components that can be earned through various modes of gameplay. Completing different parts of the game at different difficulty levels, defeating bosses, earning achievements in PvP, and earning various other achievements will unlock ways for players to customize their banner and show off their progress in the game.

The tip of the banner will be adorned with menacing-looking objects (as seen in the image at right) for those who choose to participate in [[Arena]] battles. The small strips of cloth hanging from the golden skulls represent how many achievements the player has earned (on that character), and the tabard itself seems to "grow" as the character is leveled. [[Hardcore]] players are rewarded with the unique-to-Diablo-series "bones that bleed" decoration along with a longsword lodged into the pile for good measure.
===Customizing the Banner===
How does a player customize the banner outside of achievements and leveling? This is currently unknown, but it is assumed that the player is able to select the colors of the tabard, and perhaps even the icons on the front of it. In the "progression" picture above, the icon on the tabard changes due to the player beating Normal difficulty and moving onwards. However there have been more icons seen than difficulty levels, so the amount of customization on that front remains unknown.
===Banner in-game===

The banner has a function in the game, other than simply looking neat. The player may place their banner on the ground (default hotkey for this is "E"), and it will show up somewhere in the safe area/town that their friend is in. The friend or party member may then click on the banner in order to teleport to that player.
A banner in the field can be seen to the left, placed by a player.
''You get me magic banner, or we attack!'' Disclaimer: The presence of the banner does not preclude the appearance of {{iw|Snotspill Snotspill}} in Diablo III.
