🖼️ Can you work from an existing logo or image?Updated 6 months ago

Yes — we can absolutely work from an existing logo, sketch, or image, as long as it's compatible with our engraving and illustration process.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. We can adapt or refine your visual

If you already have:

• A logo

• A hand-drawn sketch

• A family crest or coat of arms

• A symbol you’ve seen and loved

…we’re happy to use it as a starting point or reference for your custom stamp, ex-libris, signet ring, seal or embosser engraving.

Depending on the complexity and style, Lauren will either:

• Adapt it into her own line-drawing style

• Refine or simplify it for engraving

• Suit the format and dimensions you’ve chosen

2. It must be compatible with engraving

Keep in mind: the final result is often engraved onto a small surface — such as a rubber stamp, signet ring, wax seal, or embosser. That means:

• Fine detail may need to be simplified

• Very intricate illustrations might not be suitable as-is

• We often rework visuals so they remain elegant and legible at a small scale

If you’re unsure whether your image will work, just send it to us — we’ll advise you honestly.

3. Vector files are welcome (but not required)

If you already have a vector version of your logo (PDF, .AI, .SVG), feel free to include it — it makes adaptation easier. But don’t worry if you don’t have one — we often work from photos or scans and redraw the design by hand.
