api_method: POST
api_endpoint: "/services/v2/order/certificate/12345/vmc/encoded-logo"

**POST** `https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/order/certificate/12345/vmc/encoded-logo`

Use this endpoint to upload an SVG logo to a pending order for a Verified Mark Certificates (VMC) or a Common Mark Certificate (CMC).

Uploading a logo replaces any existing logo for the order. If the logo already exists in your account, we assign the existing logo and any trademark details associated with it to the order instead of uploading a duplicate logo to your account.

This endpoint accepts compressed logo data, formatted as a base64-encoded string. To upload raw SVG data, use the [Upload VMC or CMC logo (SVG)](https://dev.digicert.com/md/certcentral-apis/services-api/orders/upload-vmc-or-cmc-logo-svg.md) endpoint.


> **Info**
>
> Before uploading a logo, make sure it meets the requirements for VMC or CMC:
>
> - [Validate VMC or CMC logo format (SVG)](https://dev.digicert.com/md/certcentral-apis/services-api/utilities/validate-vmc-or-cmc-logo-format-svg.md)
> - [Validate VMC or CMC logo format (encoded)](https://dev.digicert.com/md/certcentral-apis/services-api/utilities/validate-vmc-or-cmc-logo-format-encoded.md)


## Request format

To submit a request to the **Upload VMC or CMC logo (encoded)** endpoint:

- Set the `Content-Type` header to `application/json`.
- Format the data for your SVG logo as a compressed, base64-encoded string.
  For example, in a bash shell, run this command:
  ```bash
  echo '<XML content for your SVG logo>' | gzip | base64
  ```
- In the JSON payload, submit the string containing the encoded logo data as the value of the `logo` parameter.
