If you have recently been tasked with creating a new and unique custom ribbons to denote a specific event or date, it is important to realize that there could be some challenges associated with that job that you are not expecting. For instance, the standard satin or imitation satin ribbon is quite common and at one time or another, the colors have all been used for a variety of different events and purposes. Therefore, it's a good idea to consider the following advice when you hope to create a memorable custom ribbon for your event.

Research Common Uses For The Style And Color Of Ribbon You Might Use 

It is important to note that even though you might not be aware of it, the long and extended use of custom ribbons has resulted in virtually every style and color combination that you can think of having been used for many purposes. Therefore, you are likely to research the less commonly known colors in order to rule those options out. For instance, pink ribbons have been associated for many years with breast cancer awareness and black ribbons have been linked with awareness groups for various sleeping disorders, Melanoma, and the victims of 9/11. 

After ruling out the more popular or well-known ribbon types, it is time to think outside the standard box of ribbon, as discussed next. 

Make Choices That Set Your Ribbon Apart From The Others In A Tasteful And Unique Way

Fortunately, you can opt for your custom ribbon design to feature two or more colors. Another option to explore is the use of two or more types of ribbons, as combining satin or imitation satin with velvet or velour is not quite as common as satin alone. By extension, the unique or almost unique appearance of your custom ribbon is still possible. If necessary, you can even elect to use one of those ribbon types or colors in shapes in order to provide even more individuality to your creation.     

When choosing the colors of ribbons that you want to use, you might be more pleased with the final result if you consider using different shades of colors as opposed to the exclusive use of primary colors. Not only are there more hues to choose from during the design process, you also have the option of building upon an existing ribbon with new colors in future years.

In conclusion, custom ribbons have long been a way to show attention to or acknowledge positive experiences or events. As a result, when you are designing a custom ribbon for a special event, it is a good idea to apply the advice shared above when the uniqueness of your own design is of the utmost importance.
