Personalized umbrellas are becoming more popular as people recognize all of the ways in which they can be used to extend your personality on the deck or promote your business. You can have your pet’s photo placed on your outdoor umbrella, You can have the name of your ranch or farm, if you are so inclined to have named the acreage such as Tara from Gone With the Wind!
This is a project I did for a local Winery, Terre Beau. Because the umbrellas would be seen from a far off road, we wanted to use them to gain additional advertising exposure as people drove past the winery. We used the colors for the winery logo and had them silk-screened in UV protective outdoor ink by a local supplier here in Kansas City. It was a fun project and just one example of what is possible.
We chose to have the graphic design placed on every other rib so that when the wind turned the umbrella it would be seen from any angle. The scale of the lettering was large enough to be seen from a distance so we chose to keep it all on one line as the logo was intended to be viewed. The black against the red really popped and worked well with the other colors at the winery.
