To order your free colour visual, please follow the instructions below:

1. Acquire Artwork
   Upon receipt of good quality artwork our design team will produce a colour visual (free of charge) which will be an exact replica of what you would receive should you decide to proceed with an order.
   
   Emailed artwork is preferred and should be sent in jpeg format or similar. If this is not possible we can accept artwork by post on CD or a detailed colour copy or sticker etc.
   
   If quality artwork cannot be supplied our design team can produce your artw ork for you upon receipt of a letterhead or sketch etc (a small artwork charge may apply).
   
   
2. Decide on text for scroll(s) or brass plate(s)
   Please tell us what text you would like to be displayed on your shield, for example:
   "Thames RFC, Rugby Tour 2007" or "Kings College London" etc.
   
   Text can be displayed on the shield using one or two scrolls depending on the amount of text required.
   
   Alternatively polished brass plates are available which can be engraved.
   
   A shield can also be fitted with a scroll and a plate, or if required neither, which sometimes applies to customers that have text incorporated in their design.
   
   Please tell us your preferred options (see examples below - click on an image to enlarge) when ordering your colour visual, if you are unsure please feel free to contact us for expert advice.
