Any team who has Balfour do rings for their school (and even other ring companies) should talk to them about this if they're interested. We just printed out our logo as we wanted it to appear, and gave them a copy with our 2 ring orders. It came back exactly as we had given it to them, considerably more detailed than we thought they were going to be able to pull off.

The 4 is above in the top of the biohazard symbol, we wanted the number to appear somewhere so we put the 3 numbers in the edges of the logo.

This is on the standard ring, on the cheapest metal, meaning the only thing they offer cheaper doesn't allow for things on the sides of the ring. We were forced to get a certain style of ring in order to fit how they generated the logo (I had to change from my original ring style because it wasn't big enough), but the cost was the same and it only took an extra week or so to do the change.

Unfortunately you can't order the FIRST logo custom without FIRST's permission, since it's copyrighted.

Bummer, on my ring I didnt get anything about robots. Jostens wanted to charge me $50 for something custom. Later I found out that they do have the FIRST logo just not in the catalog. So for free I can get that. Not sure if they talked to FIRST about copyright issues. They said I get 1 free re-make of the ring. So im gonna get that done soon.
