You can create this file yourself from a screen shot using a couple of programs you probably have on your computer.

Follow these steps:

• Find the logo on your computer. It could be on your website or an electronic version of your letterhead.
• Press the Print Screen key.
• Open Microsoft Paint.
• Press Ctrl + v (for paste).
• Close Paint, name the file, and save the changes.
• Double-click the file. It should open in Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
• From the toolbar, select Edit Pictures.
• From the options on the right, select Crop.



• Drag the crop handles from the corners toward the logo until only the logo is inside the crop handles.
• Click OK.
• From the toolbar click Edit Pictures then select Resize.
• Select Percentage of original width x height. Reducing or increasing the percent-age will keep the correct dimensions of your image.
• Reduce or increase the percentage until the size is within the specified range.



• Click OK.
• Close the file and save the changes.
• Right-click the file and select Open With>Paint.
• From the Paint toolbar select File>Save As.
• Name the file and select the file type from the drop-down menu.
