Custom Monogram {Your Opinion is Requested}

 

With so many “classy” bloggers and followers out there, I do value your opinions. You are never shy or scared to help me out by giving me your truthful testimony.

Recently, I set out to have a respected business design a custom monogram for J & I. My instructions were simple. I want a classic R and J. Not only will the monogram be useful for pillows, duvets, and placemats, but I hope to use it on other stationary goods.

I will share the designer source once I decide which custom monogram to choose.

Let me know in the comment section which monogram you like best.

ONE (1)

R J

TWO (2)

Crown

THREE (3)

diamond

FOUR (4)

bracket

FIVE (5)

Old

SIX (6): 1-5

page 1

SEVEN (7): 1-8

page 2

EIGHT (8): 1-6

page 3

Personally, I am leaning to Number ONE (1) ---simple and to the point. This ONE will never go out of style.

Thanks for your opinion.

Custom Monogram, y’all!

  1. I would pick #1 also - or maybe #2. But then, I love Crowns, too!!

  2. I prefer #1 ~ tasteful and timeless. There are many others that I like, however, I feel one might tire of them.

    Good luck!

  3. My vote would be for #1. Classic so it can be used for many applications.

  4. I love #1 as well, but I do like the diamond effect created by #4!

  5. #1, I am all for classic, timeless and simple.

  6. I would agree with the very first one in that it will be more versatile and the R and J are most distinct/clear. All lovely!! Monograms are such a classic and personal touch.

  7. Stay true to your first choice. Classic, timeless, elegant- that's a keeper combination!

  8. Ron, #1 was my immediate choice. It's clear so the initials can easily be identified, bold, and makes a statement. At first I liked the addition of the crown, but not the pattern in the background. Then I went back and forth between the two. Simplicity was always my first choice! It doesn't need the crown. Great idea to have one designed.

  9. I like your choice too. But I would add a bit of leaves, as in the seventh design of choice 7 since you have such an appreciation of floral influences and work with them or perhaps some ACORNS!!!!!!

  12. I like #1 best too. Hmm...........I am thinking of a shop behind the moss curtain that does monogramming. I am wondering if it is the one you used.

  13. #1 OR #2, but swap the crown for an acorn... ;)

  14. My thought on that is it could still be at home in a wide array of styles. I think it's versatile and timeless. I love monograms so much.

  15. I agree go with number 1. But I do love the acorn idea.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I would go worth 6-3 or 7-1. Classic and balanced, will translate best for embroidery!

  17. Number 1 for sure! I agree--you will always be able to put it to use in the future because it's so simple. I can't wait for you to share the designer. After seeing Amanda's custom monogram, I contacted her Savannah source and they weren't able to do a digital copy for me. Thanks so much, and good luck picking!

  18. I too like 1; however, my eye is also drawn to the bottom left of 8. It seems very handsome and classy.

  19. I like number 1 along with number 8-5 (bottom left column). But I feel number 1 has a more custom look. The only thing that I hesitate on is the point on the curve in the "R". It makes it a little difficult to make out the letter. At the same time though, that uniqueness is what makes it look distinctly yours. Can't wait to see what you decide.

  20. I agree. No. 1 .Especially, if you're going to have it embroidered on your linens....Simple and Elegant.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I must agree with many that have commented! Number 1 is just so beautiful and would look terrific anywhere.

    ReplyDelete
  22. They are all gorgeous and your couldn't go wrong with any of them, but I would choose #1 for its timeless classic appeal....but I have to admit I'm loving the idea of #2 but with an acorn instead of a crown!

    ReplyDelete
  23. #1 is great but I also like the bottom left one in group 8.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I agree with you #1 is my favorite. It's classic. I feel the last few have too much going on and the J isn't very clear. Hope this helps.

    ReplyDelete
  25. All are lovely, however the #1 "R" doesn't look at all like an R. I'd do #8 bottom left!!! Or else, keep #1 and see if the "R" could be altered a bit. Its kind of confusing when you look at it.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Definitely #1. On some of them, I can't even make out the J, and some of the others are too "busy." I like classic and classy, and #1 is definitely that!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I love the J in number one and the way the style is with a R and J overlapping. As a fellow R and woman I just don't care for the R in #1. For middle ground I would choose the R in #6 -1. Masculine but not overly and it would look great with that J. My husband is also s J (Justin) so this is getting the ideas turning. Can't wait to see what you choose.

  28. #1 is my fav for sure! Here is what I think about 2.... A crown? Seriously? LOL

    ReplyDelete
  29. No contest. #1, fer sho!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Number one it is with number five a close second.

    ReplyDelete
  31. My favorite is Six: 3. One is lovely as well. I know you will make the best choice for you and J.
