Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media providing banner representations in a computer system that provides a virtual environment, including: accessing an avatar record, where the avatar record indicates an avatar representation that includes data to provide a visual representation of an avatar; receiving a selection of a banner representation made by a user; accessing a representation record, wherein the representation record indicates a banner representation that includes data to provide a visual representation of a banner; associating the banner representation with the avatar representation; receiving avatar movement input that indicates movement of the avatar within the virtual environment; and generating visual data representing the movement of the avatar and banner in the virtual environment using the avatar representation and the banner representation, where the banner is placed in the virtual environment following the avatar as the avatar moves in the virtual environment.
