You may submit logo art to use in the forms you design on our website.  Your Artwork must be submitted within certain resolution and file type guidelines listed below.  In order to retain the highest quality printing, all logos are reviewed and prepared for you to use in any of your forms.  After preparation your logo will be placed in your Logo Library in the My Account section of the site.  This secure area is viewable only to you once you have logged in.

How to submit logo artwork to the site

Email your logo to your Customer Service Representative who will have your logo prepared and uploaded onto the web for you to use with any of your forms designs.  
 

How to use your logo in your forms design

Most of the forms in our library are able to use logos.  As you add your company information to your form there is a tab for logos which will enable you to place your logo onto your form. 
 

Important notice about logo colors

If your logo is designed in your company colors those will be the colors you may use to design your forms.  Speak with your Customer Service Representative about your choices of logo colors.
