Logo and house artwork preparation
Agents usually have a logo built for a yard sign or a website header, and builders have a community crest drawn for a billboard. Closing Gift Studio tests that artwork at the small size a gift or plaque allows and prepares a clean version when it fails.

What if your team logo is only a small web image?
A small web image can start the job but rarely finishes it. Closing Gift Studio enlarges it to the engraved size, marks where letters or lines break down, and tells you if a redraw is needed. Ask your brokerage's marketing contact or sign printer for the source file first, since that often removes the need.
Why does a community crest need work before it goes on a plaque?
A builder wants the community crest on every Custom House Number Plaque in a new phase. The crest has an oak tree with fine branches and the community name in thin script. On the entrance monument it is a yard wide. On an aluminum plaque it would sit beside the digits at the width of a coaster. At that size the branches merge and the script thins to a scratch. We redraw the tree as a solid shape, set the name in a plain letter under it and keep the crest clearly smaller than the house number. The number is what a visitor or a courier must read from the street.
An example from this collection
Custom House Number Plaque
Measure the mounting area and consider the approach from the street. Specify the actual exterior exposure and any local addressing requirements; decorative styling should not make the number difficult for visitors to identify.
The details to personalize: house number, street, optional family name. The product page lets you enter them and carry the design into your quote request.
How is real estate artwork prepared for engraving?
01
Find the source file
Ask the brokerage marketing desk, the franchise brand portal or the printer of your yard signs for the vector file. Files ending in AI, EPS, SVG or PDF are the ones to request.
02
Tell us the rules you work under
Many brokerages set how their name and mark may appear with an agent's. Send us those guidelines if you have them. We follow the spacing and wording you give us; checking them is your side.
03
Approve the small version
Look at the prepared artwork printed at real size, not zoomed in. If the brokerage name is readable at arm's length on paper, it will read on the piece. The approved file stays with your order for reuse.
Order terms in brief: Low minimums · production takes no more than 7 days, plus transit · rush available · worldwide shipping · 100% satisfaction refund. Full wording in the FAQ.
Questions about logo and house artwork preparation
What if your team logo is only a small web image?
A small web image can start the job but rarely finishes it. Closing Gift Studio enlarges it to the engraved size, marks where letters or lines break down, and tells you if a redraw is needed. Ask your brokerage's marketing contact or sign printer for the source file first, since that often removes the need.
Can you turn a photo of the house into line art?
Yes. A straight-on photo that you took, or have permission to use, can be traced into a simple line drawing for a plaque or a House Closing Gift. Listing photos usually belong to the photographer or brokerage, so ask before sending one. The drawing is quoted as artwork and shown on the proof.
May I use my brokerage's logo on a closing gift?
That is between you and your brokerage. Many allow it and some ask for a set layout. We cannot confirm permission for you. Send the approved file and any written guidelines, and we follow them. If you are unsure, a gift with the agent's name in plain type avoids the question.
Is logo cleanup charged separately?
A file that works as sent needs no cleanup line. Simplifying or redrawing takes time and is listed in your written quote before any artwork is used. Closing Gift Studio tells you which case applies after looking at the file, so send it with your first message.
