How Custom Embroidery Can Improve Your Employees Appearance

Posted by Johnny Battle on

Custom embroidery in the workplace is one of those little details that goes a long way. Your logo is sewn into the fabric of your outfit, it is a statement; a statement that says you care about your business's image. Whenever the job has you interacting with customers and other businesses on a daily basis, it is important to look your best.

Size Matters

Posted by Johnny Battle on

A common question we get over here at Johnny Battle is “How big will my logo be?” There are several different spots that a logo can be placed on the apparel ordered from us.

Part 2 Digitizing: See The Process Of Your Logo...Three versions of the digitizing process

Posted by Johnny Battle on

While looking at the logo for Pianos By Mike, I am going to explain the trial and error process we do with digitizing since it is always an interpretation rather than an exact replica. There are cases in which the digitizing looks flawless in the first run. There are others where the digitizer really need to get their creative juices flowing in order to make a replica that looks nice and positively reflects on the brand. On the first one you will see that the stitches that separate the keys are crooked and also the black keys on top are...
