I don't think they're trying to present this as an innovation in name tags. It's just a showcase of an elegant novel design.

If I'm not mistaken, innovative is a synonym of novel.

The New Oxford American Dictionary defines novel as "new or unusual in an interesting way". While it may not be new, it's definitely unusual.

(Also, you're not mistaken, according to the Oxford American Writer's Thesaurus. But they are different words.)
