How to design and get your sign or business card approved

The Design Center is where you build (or upload) your own RaiderX yard sign, rider or business card. Every design — however it was made — needs the broker’s written approval before you use it, and a business card needs that approval before it can be ordered printed (P&P § 3.5.1).

The five steps

  1. 1

    Open the Design Center

    Design Center → New design (Sign Library → My designs also links straight in). Pick what you’re making — yard sign, rider or business card — then a format and a starter template, or start blank. Templates prefill from your real profile: name as licensed, phone, email, website, license number and your photo.

  2. 2

    Build it, or upload a finished file instead

    Drag, resize and rotate text, photos, shapes, icons, a QR code and the RaiderX wordmark — the brand is locked (Helvetica Neue only, brand colors only, the wordmark can’t be resized off-aspect or recolored). Or upload a PDF/PNG/JPG made outside RaiderX (Canva, a sign shop, a print vendor) — same queue, and the broker checks it by eye against the brand guidelines instead.

  3. 3

    Check the live checks panel, then submit

    The checks panel flags anything that would block approval before you try — most importantly the RaiderX name being at least half the size of your largest contact text (22 TAC § 535.155). On a business card that’s checked across the whole card (front + back together), not each side alone. Click Submit for review when it’s clean.

  4. 4

    The broker approves it

    You’re notified when it’s approved or sent back with a note. An approved design is locked — Duplicate it to make changes, which goes back for review. Print PDFs only exist for approved designs, and for a sign or rider one approval covers every stock size in that format.

  5. 5

    Order printed business cards

    From an approved business-card design, choose quantity, finish and single- or double-sided, add a shipping address, and place the order — it can’t be placed against an unapproved design. Signs and riders download as a print-ready PDF for your own sign printer.

Two things that trip people up

A business card front with just your photo and name isn’t enough

The stock card layouts put a small "RX" corner mark on the front and the full RaiderX wordmark on the back — that passes, because the check looks at the whole card. Remove the back wordmark, though, and it fails; the small corner mark alone never counts.

No owner/CEO/Principal/Founder titles on a card

In a team or LLC, nobody but the designated broker presents as "Owner" or the like — the guidelines checklist flags this (P&P § 3.2(g)).

Quick answers

Can I still use the stock yard signs without designing anything?
Yes — the Sign Library’s stock templates (For Sale/Lease/Rent signs and riders) are already approved. Download and send straight to a sign printer.
