2. I send my logo ideally in PDF format (JPEG and PNG also accepted) via the site interface, or by email or WeTranfser (contact@bien-encre.fr).
3. I order
4. A graphic designer sends me a first version. I exchange with him, and if necessary, ask for a new version.
5. Once I have validated a version (and only after validation), the printer starts printing.

I want to do the visual myself
