Logos On Ribbons

While ribbons are a great tool to use in the office or in commercial settings, the best use is adding personalized logos.

These logos can range from basic and simple, to somewhat complicated. By adding these logos to custom ribbons, whether they be ribbon rolls, badge ribbons or rosette ribbons, one can take full advantage of the advertising that comes from these wonderful tools.

A well designed logo is a mark of a well-run business. Adding a logo to to custom ribbons helps to associate employees and other that represent a company with a brand image that has been built for that company. Personalized Ribbons does require that these logos are provided in specific ways.

High quality artwork is required for all processes. All artwork will be reviewed by a designer and adjustments will be made to your order if necessary. These adjustments will be shown on a proof prior to production. Imprinted ribbons require black and white (one color) art files. Full color ribbons may be created using vector art or high quality bitmap files. Templates are also available to aid customers in the process of creating logos and placement for ribbons. All art received by Coller Industries Incorporated must be in compliance with all trademark, copyright, patent or related laws or acts and are the responsibility of the customer. And, as always, customer service is happy to assist where and when necessary.
VECTOR ART: Imprinted ribbons require vector art files.
BITMAP ART: Full color ribbons may use either vector or bitmap artwork (300 dpi or better).

With that being said, logos should be a fun way to express oneself. And what a great idea to help promote and brand a business or organization. Company branding helps to expands a business or really get the word out about the company’s purpose.
Corporate branding is the process of promoting the logo and/or brand name of a company or corporation for marketing and advertising purposes. Typically the range of a corporate brand is very broad and is often used as a way to express the company’s ideals and goals.
From corporate gifting to recruiting and retention of employees, this brand (or logo) will always come in handy. Use it to your advantage today by putting it on ribbons.

Ribbon Colors and What They Mean

Have you ever seen different ribbon colors and asked: What does that yellow ribbon tied around that tree mean? Or, why is “so-and-so” wearing that ribbon color?

Ribbons in a large variety of colors are used throughout the year to celebrate and honor many occasions and holidays. Typically ribbon rolls are used to celebrate weddings, birthdays and other party events. Acknowledging achievements is the role of award and rosette ribbons, whereas badge ribbons provide information. However, all ribbons can be used throughout the year and for many different purposes.

The Importance of Ribbon Colors

Example of an awareness ribbon.

The color of the ribbon can be important, especially if you are using the ribbon to support the awareness of causes that are important to you. A short ribbon is folded and glued into a loop, with the color determining the meaning. Also, these awareness ribbons can stand for many different things depending on the color. Though color is most important for awareness ribbons, don’t forget choosing colors for badge ribbons and rosettes are just as important.

Remember those paint chip sample cards? Go grab a bunch of those and either punch hearts into them or buy stickers to simply decorate for the kids in your child’s class. Once decorated, use that scrap ribbon roll to tie streamers to the top of the paint chips. These fun and unique Valentine Cards can now be reused as a bookmark.

Stack a couple of these together, cutting and trimming some of them, to create a stacked look. Use a fun sticker for the middle of this fun rosette ribbon. Once completed, each rosette still needs the streamers. Use those ribbon roll scraps and attach a couple to the bottom of each rosette. These can now be attached to a piece of card stock or given as is.

 

While these ideas are to use leftover ribbon pieces you might have, don’t hesitate to order new ribbon rolls, rosette ribbons or badge ribbons to meet your needs. Be creative and, most importantly, have fun!

Donation Spotlight: Classical Conversations

Another year and what a great way to start it out! Coller Industries is happy to say that we enjoy giving back to our community. And what better way to do that than with a donation of goods. This time around we are highlighting Classical Conversations.

Classical Conversations Logo“At Classical Conversations, we believe that every child is uniquely and wonderfully made. Classical Conversations exists to assist homeschooling parents in educating their children,” said Lynne Roberts, Challenge B Director, with Classical Conversations. “We believe there are three keys to a great education: the classical model of learning, taught within the framework of a Christ-centered worldview, in a supportive community.”

Homeschooling is a journey. Classical Conversations is with you every step of the way from little scribblers to the middle school years all the way through to graduation.

Roberts said, “We believe in cultivating great conversations. Nelson Mandela said, ‘Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.’ Through our challenge programs, we give the students an opportunity to become lifelong learners and lovers of God’s creation.”

Classical Conversations empowers parents to establish local communities in which parents and students meet once a week during the school year. Each community also consists of programs led by a trained parent-director.
