"Hi Joe, Just wanted to let you know the plates arrived a few days ago and look great. Thanks again!"—Todd

Nameplates and logo design
All distinctive brands begin with a good logo. Just because your amp building operation isn't as big as Fender's or Marshall's doesn't mean your amps can't look as good as theirs do!
We can design a stylized logo for you using special fonts or line art that you supply. Just as with our faceplate design, we'll send you a series of pdfs to proof until you are completely satisfied with the design.
Name badges for amps follow the same pricing guidelines as faceplates, and if the nameplate is included with the faceplate order, the design fee covers both designs!
And speaking of cost, here's how we price our products:
Every order is subject to a $25 design/file processing fee that covers all aspects of designing, laying out the plate, preparing files for engraving, and forwarding final files to the engraver. Note that this charge is PER ORDER, not per plate.
Shipping/handling is a flat $12 for U.S. addresses, and $38 for foreign. Again, this is a PER ORDER charge. (Maximum 4 faceplate designs and one logo plate design per order.)
The price of the plates themselves depends on the size and material used. You can calculate your plate price by using the following formula:
Plate length (inches) X Plate height (inches) X Material cost (see chart below) = Plate cost
For example, a 5" X 2" black/white plastic nameplate would cost the following amount:
Design/file processing: $25 Plate engraving: 5" X 2" X $1.00 = $10 Shipping: $12 TOTAL FOR THIS ORDER: $47.00
If you wanted to add a faceplate to the above order, you'd simply add the cost of another plate to the total. The design and shipping fees would not be any more.
Here is the chart of stocked materials. We can do other materials, too, but there is a $25 special order fee for those. (Call us at 202-492-3237 for more information on non-stocked materials.)
