off topic: My company designed & made the crash pads. I helped design the fabric covers on the pads.

I (we) can't take any credit for the graphic design. Our 'design' was limited to the physical aspects of the pads...the foam and the fabric that covers the foam etc.

With some of the pads, the design was simply on a separate fabric that was velcroed to the pads. But at the last minute (in January) someone decided that some of the pads should have the design right on them, so they sent us rolls of fabric with the designs printed on them and we had to make a whole new set of covers ASAP.
