"Masthead" is the wrong word #4

The “masthead” of a publication is the box that lists its staff, editor, etc., NOT the title on the front page, which is properly referred to as the “banner” (or sometimes “flag”). This is a very common error

Seconded. "Logo" could also be used, as well as "banner" or "flag".

The Guardian disagrees.

It could be a UK/US English difference, and not an error.
