Rosette Design - The Basics

Our rosettes are made to order, so they arrive 'fresh' to you. This section explains how to decide what we are going to make for you.
Don't worry if you think this is complicated. We are here to help and are happy to discuss what you do or do not need. Just give us a call.

1. What kind of rosettes do you want?

For minor placings, most customers start with 1, 2 or 3 tier Lord rosettes. Then, for major awards, we usually make Moocraft Specials,
varying their size and 'fanciness' to suit. Customers on a tight budget may choose Hector rosettes for these.

Ribbon Colours - standard colours held in stock


2. What colour ribbon are we going to use?

Here are our standard satin ribbon colours. Please note, there will be colour variations depending on your monitor or printer.
These are here to give you a good idea of what is available. Colours appearing on the left represent standard 1st to 7th placing colours.

1st red dark red burgundy dark purple
2nd royal navy light blue cornflower
3rd yellow gold bronze cream
4th emerald dark green sea green light green
5th orange peach brown  
6th baby pink pink rouge lilac
7th white black silver  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your organisation may have its own colours, or you may have a colour scheme in mind. You may just want us to take care of it.
As a guide, 3 colours is normally enough for any rosette. 2 complimentary colours look great, even on a large Special.

Centreboard Colours - standard colours held in stock

3. What centreboard colours are we going to use?

Here are our standard centreboard colours. Again, there may be colour variations. Colours on the left represent 1st to 7th placings.

1st dark red cherry purple  
2nd mid blue navy pale blue azure
3rd lemon cream enamel    
4th mid green dark green light green  
5th orange brown    
6th pink lilac    
7th white black gel silver (to order) gold (to order)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Choose centreboard colours to match ribbon colours. Alternatively, a carefully chosen different centreboard colour will contrast well.

Centreboard Printing - foil printing options

4. What are we going to print on each rosette centreboard?

OPTION 1 - traditional foil print
The wording around the outside is usually the name of your show or event.
Award placings appear in the middle. Best in Show, Champion, 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.

OPTION 2 - foil printed logo
Your logo fills the whole centreboard. A well designed logo really makes a rosette stand out.
The downside is there is no room for award placings, which can be printed on tails instead.
Want your rosettes to have a logo? See logo design.

OPTION 3 - foil printed logo and text
Your logo is designed so that there is enough space below to overprint the award,
subject to an additional small cost dependant on quantitiy required.

6. What type of fixing are we going to use?

There are 3 types of fixing for securing rosettes, These are:

SAFETY PIN
Our standard fixing.

COW TAPE
Used to attach rosettes to livestock pens, cages etc.

BRIDLE CLIP
Designed to be attached to animal harnesses.

That's basic rosette design. However, if you want something different, we may be able to help. Following are the other options available:

Rosette Tail Printing

You may wish wording to be printed on your rosette tails; e.g. special awards, year, sponsor etc.
This is a great way to make a rosette look even more impressive. Tail printing is charged as follows:

Charge for each printed tail: 50p/print

 



Large volume prints can be agreed at reduced rates dependant on quantity and number of
setting changes; e.g. you may want a sponsor name on every rosette for your event.

Extras - commonly used extras pricing

To distinguish between awards and to make our rosettes stand out,
we can add various extra details. The most common extras are outlined below as follows:

Extra tier 24mm plain ribbon 45p each
Extra tier 36mm plain ribbon 75p each
Points 24mm plain ribbon 10p each
