How to list COA when providing shop drawings for supplier
(OP)
My company (I'm the owner) has been contracted to provide shop drawings for a material supplier. The material supplier has a contract with the contractor to provide the materials and stamped drawings for owner approval.
The material supplier has a set of standard drawings and title block that they typically use. In an ideal word, they would like to keep their logo, company info, etc. for branding. My question is, what is the best way to incorporate my company's certificate of authority (COA) information to show that we are responsible for the design, but still keep the branding of the material supplier in the drawings?
Should I just put the COA information under my seal on each page? Or should I put the design on my company title block and just list the material supplier as the client?

Keep in mind that if this supplier supplies anything north of the border in VA, you have to be the one to produce the drawings if you seal them. You can't just seal their drawing.

I was heavily involved in creating their standard drawings, and I will be producing the full drawings/design for individual projects using the tools I created. I have no interest in loosing my license for rubber stamping.

For the record, I wasn't accusing you of that. A lot of states will let you stamp a drawing prepared by somebody else as long as you are able to take responsibility. Virginia just has a uniquely specific wording that bars you from sealing anything not created by you or an employee or contractor employed by the same company you work for.
