So it became like a tricky thing to do. And they're like, you know what, screw it. I'm not doing this anymore. This is crazy. You know, I've lost money on this the time, you know, it takes to try to get it right. Not doing it right. Then there's the artist end of things, where it's like, wait, I have this square. It's either too much of a blanket canvas or how do I make my art, my design, how do I make it work with a square? You know, I'm used to using t-shirts where it's like a little, little imprint. Sure. We go for larger t-shirts too, but it's a little bit of a, it's a different kind of. It's a square and a square. It's not directing. We're printing even...we're pretty large and t-shirts, it's a rectangle. So I guess it can be a little intimidating, cause it's a lot of space to fill at the same time. Everyone can always be confident that you're only actually designing a square. It's really a square. It's like you have so much opportunity to...have so many different kinds of characteristics on a bandana, you also have the opportunity, to with us, especially playing around with what type of design you want to put on a bandana. As we do the off the edge, we do the off the edge of digital. Um, so that's something that's really unique, but it really, it takes some time to understand and get familiar with bandanas and they're pretty bananas and design your identity, but we are there. We are here to help. Planet apparel has got your back on apparel that will help you achieve your goal. Marshall All right, great. So the thing about designing, I think is in my head, I think of. It's a red bandana or a blue bandana, and it's got this paisley-looking design on it and it's kind of a mandala, right? It's kind of just like a geometric pattern kind of a thing. Right? You don't have to do that. You can do something else, right? Heather Yeah. And let me just say this, you know, we have our graphics department and it's every, and this is not an exaggeration every single day. I'll see someone's monitor and they have the bandana artwork up that someone just submitted. And I walk over there in awe of what these artists are actually doing with their graphics. And back to what I was saying about storytelling, even from a brand perspective. They are doing amazing graphics. That's very intricate and very advanced. And you can tell that there's a lot of, uh, education there, but I will say on the, on the simple side of things, if you are looking for something that is a giveaway item that you want your brand to really stand out in and you don't want to, you know, maybe spend a lot of money on graphics or you don't have the time for that. If you simply just title your brand name all over the bandana. That's perfect. Like we get that all the time and try to keep it simple. And then if you want to evolve that and get a little artsier, then you can go that direction as well. And then on top of that, You incorporate paisley, maybe paisley details because the bandana as everyone and what just came to your mind, did you think of paisley, but do it in a way, like we have a, um, I just recently saw a bandana that, um, the, the company was like chili peppers. It was a restaurant and they took the chili pepper and made it in the shape of a paisley. And so you're still keeping that traditional paisley bandana that everyone thinks of, but putting your twist on it. So that goes back with the intimidation. You know, what, if all else fails, keep it simple, get your branding on there and it's gonna be, it's gonna be great. Marshall And it's huge. And you can really highlight your brand in that way. So, you know, a step and repeat patterns, pretty easy. Yeah. Yeah. So do people for how the bandana is being used. Like I'm going to like tie it around the back of my head, like a face mask or I'm going to wear it around my neck. Or maybe if I'm a, you know, a woman, I might use it to tie up my hair, you know, I don't have any hair, so I don't know how that works, but like, like do people design spaces specifically for how the bandana is going to be folded into the triangle and stuff?
