How do I order custom apparel with the Scouting America trademark?
A crucial part of this relationship is submitting designs that include protected content to Scouting America for review and approval. This process ensures that designs meet style and brand guidelines created by the organization.
The good news is that Custom Ink handles this approval process for you! Just place your order and we’ll take care of the rest. If the organization has any requests or suggestions for your design we will be sure to get in touch with you before printing.
While it may be tempting to reach out to your local chapter to help move this process along, approvals must be received through specific channels to make sure the right people are signing off on your design. Leave the work to us and we’ll make sure your design gets the green light in no time!
Want a head start?
There are some rules that tend to apply across the board. Follow these steps to speed up the review process for your order!
- Give Them Some Space – Layering is great for camping, but it’s not a good idea when creating designs that include logos. Be sure to leave space around logos so they stand out in your design.
- Be You – While we all love popular brands, make sure your design is unique to you! Steer clear of using logos identical to those of other brands in your design.
- Check out our Design Lab – The average Google image search will provide a wide variety of logos with no information on when they were created OR retired. To ensure you use the most up-to-date logo in your design, search Scouting America in our Design Lab!
