Yes it can. If you have used a company other than positive design and marketing for your logo creation we can still be of service to you by producing any number of design items incorporating your existing logo. All that we ask is that the exisitng logo design is in a format that we are able to use. This can be a Photoshop (PSD) a PDF or an EPS file (which is our preferred format).

We can even accept JPEGs and hand drawn fomats too but we may well have to redraw the logo to allow us to make it work in our further designs for you. This can be worked out when you make an enquiry with us.

Based on your exisitng logo we can produce Business Literature, Flyers, Postcards and a further large array of products for you. Simply get in touch on our questions page with any enquires you may have.

The answer is yes. You can have as many single items designed as you need but we may be able to offer you a more competitive price for your item if you have it designed along with other items. This would constitute a bespoke design service so we would have to estimate the costs for this when you make an inquiry to us. Use the contact form on our questions page to ask us for any information you require or to quote on designs that you may need.
