"Operator logo" is a term specific to Nokia Smart Messaging, so I'll assume that you're talking about sending operator logos and ring tones in the Nokia format.

The following thread has an example of how you can convert RTTTL to hex format for sending out a ringtone:

Taking the example above a step further, let's talk about how you would send it using NowSMS:

http://server:port/?PhoneNumber=xxxxxxx&binary=1&dcs=F5&udh=06050415811581&data= 024A3A7D5195CDD08199BDC88111A1A5C985B404009B28CAEA22822849A41C41A61C4184104288A0 8A12690718698418612410550550610590558590A22C4916136154156156106156184102288A08A1 2690710698710610410A22822D49081A41C61A4184904154154184164156164288B124584D855055 84D04D845000

The operator logo format is trickier, because you have to embed the mobile operator code for the user's operator in the request. Search this board on OTB (the "OTA bitmap file format") and operator logo, and you should find some pointers and examples.

Keep in mind that the Nokia operator logo format is just dealing with very low resolution black & white/monochrome images. In these days of colour phones, it's not worth putting a whole lot of time and energy into.

Colour images (and more advanced ring tones) are more often delivered over WAP Push.
