Ask for the stamp size and artwork rules
A physical stamp logo needs a clear job description. Record the impression width and height, intended surface and maker. Ask what kind of proof or sample can be checked before production.
Rubber Stamp Champ asks for black and white artwork without color or grayscale and prefers vector art. This is that maker's rule.

| Field | What to ask |
|---|---|
| Stamp type | Which product will carry the artwork? |
| Impression size | What is the actual width and height? |
| Surface and ink | What setup suits the intended use? |
| Files | Which artwork types are accepted? |
| Details | Which small parts need review? |
| Proof | How can the actual result be compared? |
Choose a suitable solid version
LogoTidy standard kits include single color artwork variants. They still need checking for the chosen stamp and impression size. A file supplied as artwork is not a tested physical stamp result.
Compare the chosen solid copy with the approved mark. Inside shapes may need to stay distinct rather than become one filled mass. Keep the name and symbol recognizable.
If a flat version is not already approved, treat it as a proposal. Do not assume that turning the whole mark black keeps every intended detail.
Inspect gaps and small marks at the intended size
| Detail | Question |
|---|---|
| Dots and accents | Are the intended marks present? |
| Letter openings | Can the maker retain the inside gaps? |
| Thin strokes | Does the maker need a confirmed change? |
| Separate pieces | Do they stay distinct in the proposed impression? |
| Large solid areas | Will important inside detail remain? |
Ask the maker to judge the actual file at its actual size. This worksheet does not prescribe a minimum line width, gap or universal resolution. Keep those supplier decisions with the job note.
Keep every artwork change explicit
- Retain the approved original.
- Show the proposed stamp version beside it.
- List any changed gap, omitted tagline or altered stroke.
- Ask the owner to decide on those changes.
- Record the final version rather than assume approval.
A simplified copy can be useful for a process, but its new appearance is a design decision. If the proposal changes the identity too much, ask about a larger stamp or another production option.
Compare a proof or impression
- Check readable wording and the intended symbol.
- Compare small marks and inside gaps.
- Confirm the agreed physical size.
- Inspect the result on the intended surface when possible.
- Name any spreading ink or missing detail without guessing one cause.
If the result differs, ask for a revised setup or a defined artwork change. Finish after the actual maker proof or sample is accepted, not just after the artwork upload. Keep its decision with the original and stamp copy.
