The Designer imprint was almost exclusively used for black gospel recordings, which were produced by Wooten and his team in great quantity. Designer was Wooten's most frequently used label and ran from 1967 until 1978, when he ceased his operations. The first part of the Designer contains releases until 1973. The majority of them were recorded when Wooten was still based on 3373 Park Avenue.
