Resist methods to show a Sock Logo

Just wondering if anyone knew a way I could prevent the logo of the sock from not getting dyed? I know we could tie it off but its so small and theres so many of them. I'm looking for a method thats fast and effective. I have 1440 socks to dye for a small business and they want the logo to show. Any Tips?

logo resist query

Assuming that logo could be dyed...I wonder how big is it, what shape and what placement it has.
Can you make a photo of it?
What tie-dye style you plan to apply?

logo resist

Have you tried dyeing one sample pair, as a test? Oftentimes embroidered logos are made with nylon thread, which will not dye under the high-pH conditions you use with fiber reactive dyes, or with polyester thread which won't dye with any sort of cotton dye. Rayon thread will dye just like cotton, though.

What are the socks made of? Are they 100% cotton?
