IMPORTANT: Please do not send .jpg or .doc files.

REALLY IMPORTANT: If you want a copyrighted or trademarked logo
we can only do it with written permission from the copyright or trademark owner.
If you want to mail us your artwork or signature
for a stamp, name badge, sign or plaque:
(you know, the old-fashioned way)
We need your signauture or artwork in black ink on plain white paper.
Signatures should be signed 3 times, not touching each other.
Anything touching the signature or artwork will show on your stamp.
It must be at actual size. We can reduce or enlarge it but it will add to the cost
and might affect the quality.
Mail it or bring it to us - our address is at the top of this page.
DO NOT FOLD through the artwork - the fold will show when we scan it.

| Original (on left) would look like sample in middle, but you want it to look like sample on right |

Original (on left) is okay for a flat printed business card,
but not good for a stamp, name badge, sign, plaque or a raised printed business card
(It would end up looking like sample on right) |
