As to the logo as 'paisley' - one can make an arguement for that. But it's still a logo. I'm not (nor are traditional dictates of good taste) a fan of brand promotion ON better men's dress wear. Different strokes, different folks, all that.

I think that the way the logo is setup being small with the little stylized dots is very reminiscent of paiselys and I don't find the fact that they used their logo as a garish blunder since it doesn't really call much attention to itself and doesn't detract from the look of the tie. On the former point, I would wear a silver tie to work, I would wear this one, but maybe thats just me. I guess we are just going have to disagree and chalk it up to a difference in taste.

While the colors may be elegant, the silver tones don't really speak to a strong business tie; but for the weddings & evening events you mention, the monochrome would be perfect. The real killer is the logo. It's great if you're being sponsored by Gucci. The need to advertise, even 'subtly,' is not classy; it's gauche.
