A note about complexity

There may be times when a block only uses 2 or 3 colors, but due to the design, it falls into a Moderate or Complex design fee instead of a Simple Fee. The reason for this is the level or taping off the design requires to ensure the design is clear and crisp. Taping off the design requires the greatest amount of time. The reference blocks below can help you visualize the level of complexity each design has. You may choose from one of the designs below or provide your own design. Independent designs will be priced after a consultation with one of our members.
