Right so i have been asked to do this new job as part of a team of 4. It is alongside another role.

We have been asked to come up with a way that we can make ourselves stand out from others and be instantly recognisable. This is in a call centre by the way.

Basically hi vis jackets or silly hats have been banded around as ideas so far. What i am after is suggestions that make us stand out but don't make us look daft.

Knock yourself out.

ooh harsh ^^ :)


eh, in my job we don't go for funny hats or anything, we just let it be known that for certain things you have to deal with certain people and it gets remembered. although I'm always up for wearing a funny hat. or a gasmask.

The things that would actually work would usually be some sort of colour theme at your desks. Saves everyone having to dress up all the time. I don't see the point, but I'm not exactly Mr. Cheerful in the office.

DaGaffer did make me laugh out loud. :)

What about some kind of armband. You could highlight the importance of your role with a symbol, like a star or something.

OR... If you wear ties you could all get matching ties. Something that wouldn't make you look like a "WACKY" person on Red Nose Day. Or perhaps a sash, like beauty queens wear :) But obviously manly sashes. Because they exist.

I great deal of time will be spent away from desks chasing people up with regard to logging in and wrap and idle times. The idea is we don't get hassled on the way to a whipping.

Only 2 of us where ties. I like the armband idea or i was thinking of a sweatshirt we could just put over a shirt and tie.

All wear T-shirts with a common logo on. The logo should be themed, perhaps houses (like us colleges have).

if you really want to stand out you should give your team a strong name... a Tribe Called Fred maybe?

(PS: Not that I'm saying you should all wear FreddysHouse t-shirts or anything)

So you want to stand out but not so much that people actually talk to you and ask you stuff? meh.


Well I'm IT support in a call centre and the helppoint peeps wear a purple or blue t-shirt with Help Point printed on the back.

You could strap blue flashing lights to your head?

Or maybe green?

Red?

tshirts with "SUPPORT BITCH" printed on them spring to mind ;)
