Recently we were contacted by The Design Group, a graphic design firm in Des Moines (IA), branding a boutique hotel in Iowa. They were considering using a custom printed tie as a do not disturb sign. Being designers themselves, our customer already had strong ideas for patterns and colors. Working together with The Design Group, our fabric designers created the following four design suggestions:
The customer liked the first three but also asked if we could add a custom “tie keeper” on the bag of the tie with the Hotel’s information. Of course, this wasn’t a problem:
Just 10 days after submitting for production, we received physical samples for each of the ties including the custom tie keeper. Below are actual images of these 3 ties. To show them as future door hangers, we took some photos in front of our filing cabinets.
