- When you design your picture logo, you need to also include as much of your applicable contact information as is entered in the Address screen of the Setup→System Parameters→Company Info menu option. (e.g. address, town phone numbers, etc.)

It is not necessary to include your Company Registration number and VAT/GST/Sales Tax number (if you are registered in terms of any legislation or as a VAT/GST/Sales Tax vendor) in the picture logo, since it will be displayed at the bottom of any documents (Invoices, Credit Notes, Quotes, Delivery Notes, Purchase, Supplier Returns documents and Orders).
