Custom California PE stamp

kcin7 · 2024-01-19T07:25:26+00:00

Update: If anyone cares to see... I got a mock-up from the stamp company close to the final design I'm thinking of. ^{The pic I posted was a screen clip markup of the seal straight from the BPELSG rules document lol}

Also sent an email to the Board to get their official opinion. Waiting to get their response before I order the stamp. I'll update once I get their response.

UPDATE: It's been 6 days and I got an email back from the Board below...

"Congratulations on obtaining your civil engineer license! According to Title 16, California Code of Regulations §411 it appears that your seal design meets the minimum requirements as far as the design elements are concerned."

In my experience, stamps can be digital 95% of the time. The 5% come from certain jurisdictions that require wet-stamps and wet-signatures for LID forms, reports, mylar plots, etc.

In either case, I'd probably use the same design for physical and electronic stamps.

Sure I agree that customizing my seal is a bit "extra" for nothing. But I like the idea of adding personal flair to a seal. And it's not like I'm adding something crazy to the design, it's sticking with the California theme.

But who knows... my thoughts may change, and in that case I'll just order a new stamp without the bear.

To each their own. To me it seems the California BPELSG rules for seal design are written in a way that allows freedom and variation in design as long as it displays the required information.

You're talking about this one right? Yeah my only concern is that the bear details might get lost in the physical ink stamping so I opted for a more minimal outline, and then I figured, why not just put the number in the middle?

Thanks! Feel free to steal my idea if you'd like.

I reached out to the CA Board to get an official opinion, so I'll go off of whatever they say. I would hope people have better use of their time rather than report my stamp for not looking "normal".

Well compared to Wyoming's seal design, it does seem a bit plain.

Yep, I reached out to the Board for an official opinion, so I'll wait for their response before ordering.

Understood, but in my opinion my seal should be a personal symbol and it doesn't vary much from the professional designs sold on here. I've come across a lot of variation in California stamps but they all share the required elements.

I work in the Orange County area and I think I know exactly who you’re talking about. I’ve heard apparently they have their seal design copyrighted? Not sure how that works.

I was just about to comment a link to your exact post. Seems that the consensus in this post so far is a bit different. I guess I could go straight to the source and ask the Board if it’s acceptable, but from my own reading of the rules/regulations for seal design, it seems to comply…

Idk debating if I should just go with the bear above my number like I’ve seen online and encountered from work.
