Who IServ are

IServ builds the school platform used in classrooms across Germany, bringing communication, organisation, device management and teaching into one place. Around 250 people, based in Braunschweig.

In October they came to us wanting Christmas sweaters for the team, with one idea: put IServ on it. Not just the logo — the product.

The design

They sent over their brand assets and their product icons and gave us room to be creative. We came back with a mockup, took their notes, and had a design approved within days: an IServ blue sweater carrying the logo and eight of their own product icons knitted into the pattern, in their own brand colours.

It looks like Christmas and it looks like IServ. That was the brief.

Seeing the real thing before making 170

Before knitting the full order, we made a single sample sweater and sent IServ photographs and video of the finished piece — the actual colours, the actual knit, the logo in real fabric rather than on a screen. They approved it, and the bulk run started the same day.

On time, to Braunschweig

One written quote, approved and paid the same day the design was signed off. Six weeks from design approval to delivery: eleven boxes to IServ's office in Braunschweig, sized for the whole team, on the date they had given us at the start.
