"How can we help you choose?"
One of the first design decisions is how prominent you want your rosette to appear. A simple single-layer design can look elegant and understated, while additional ribbon layers create a larger and more eye-catching effect.
Colour choice can have a significant impact on the finished appearance. Bright colours such as red, royal blue and yellow create a bold, energetic look, while cream, burgundy and navy often produce a more traditional appearance.
What makes a good rosette design? "What would look best for my event?"

5. Consider Photographs and Logos
- A photo works well when (a) it is relevant (b) it is good quality
- Text-only may be more effective if you have a message to convey e.g. VOTE, JUDGE, Here to help etc
- Add a full colour logo if you want to reinforce your branding
