I think if u want an Original design that nobody has, then you need an ID. But honestly, how many of the ID in Singapore are capable of that? They also copy from others....most of the time you need to show them what you like and they will adapt.
As for contractors, you are right. As long as you can show them a picture or a sketch or drawing, they will be able to produce it.
All request for contacts have been sent!
