What they needed

Caps for Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, with the museum's icons on the front and its name across the back.

What we did and why

We stitched one sample cap first, and the museum approved it before we ran all 400. Each cap carries one of the museum's four icons on the front, a jug, a kettle, a vase or a tree, with COOPER HEWITT on the back. The reorder of 150 uses a stacked satin wordmark on the front.
