Best Trendy Hat
Winner: Custom-Knit Cuff Beanie. Supplier: Kotis Design (asi/244898); kotisdesign.com
Kotis Design had a challenge: to take the four bright colors of Google’s logo – red, blue, green and yellow – and combine them into a hat that still looked fashionable. “With our custom-knitting capabilities, we marled all four Google colors with black yarn to create a darker, more wearable pattern,” says Nic Thomassen, creative director of Kotis. The Kotis team also embroidered the G logo onto the beanie’s cuff for a brand pop.
Best Feature: The marl knit shows off custom brand colors in a new, visually pleasing way.
