# Company information

Open Shine Forms, and click the **Company and Instruments** tab, located at the bottom left of the **Home Screen**. Enter the company name, address and other details that you want to appear on your certificates.

# Company and association logos

You can now set up the company and association logos that you want to appear on your certificates.

:::note
Your logos need to be in an image file such as a .JPG, .PNG, .BMP, etc. You won't be able to use Word or PDF documents.
:::


While still in the **Company and Instruments** tab, click **Select Company Logo** and select the the company logo you want to use. You will see a preview of how it will appear below the company address.

Add your association logo in a similar way by clicking **Select Association Logo**.

:::tip{title="Download your association logo"}
You may need to download your association logo from their website.

## Getting the image size correct

The sizes for the areas Shine Forms uses for your logos are shown in the table below.

| Image | Size |
|---|---|
| Company Logo | 225 x 75 |
| Association Logo | 175 x 75 |
| Signature | 200 x 30 |

Shine Forms will stretch the image to fit this space so you don't have to make yours exactly the same size. Generally, if your images are the _same proportions_ then they will look fine.

If you need to, you can easily edit images using an image editing program such as the Paint program that comes with Windows - click [here](https://www.wikihow.com/Use-Microsoft-Paint-in-Windows) to read how to use Paint.

:::tip{title="Larger images are better"}
If the image is much smaller than the below then it may appear blurred or distorted as Shine Forms expands it to fit the space.

# Test instruments

Now click **Test Instruments** to go to the area where you can set up your instruments. It is easiest to do this before you add the engineer so that we can associate the right instruments with the engineers when we add them later.

From here click **Add Instrument** in the ribbon and enter the details of the instrument in the grid.

# Engineers

:::tip{title="Automate selecting your instruments"}
Shine Forms automatically uses the instruments you set as default for the engineer in any new certificates you create.
