It is not always about 'look at me', look at my logo. There is a place for subtle and understated branding of promotional merch and corporate gifts using a decoration choice called 'tone on tone'.
What is 'tone on tone'?

e.g. a green t-shirt with a complementary darker or lighter green print logo or design.
e.g. a blue aluminium drink bottle with a lighter or darker blue printed logo or design (just like our flamingo image).
The decoration decision is more about the colour and intent, rather than the method of decoration. Tone on tone can be created using traditional embroidery and printing and new branding methods such as transfers.
Matching the apparel or product colour with a variation of that colour for the decoration, is the key to achieving a time-less look, a vintage or retro feel and often, creating a finished product that conveys a higher perceived value.
We suggest the product colour is checked against a pantone colour chart to find the perfect tone match.
Tone on tone can be considered for a broad range of products such as apparel, drink bottles, notebooks and hats.
The tone on tone decoration colour choice offers a point of difference for corporate gifts, milestone celebration gifts, corporate uniform, merchandise you wish to retail. This subtle design idea is definitely worth considering.
