Logo Design Steps
STEP 1: We will begin to define your logo with a questionnaire about your company's image.
STEP 2: We will design four initial concepts so you can decide which direction you want to explore.
STEP 3: Once you pick the logo and style you like the best, we develop a new set of three logos for you to choose from based on that design.
STEP 4: We will finalize your logo chosen from your three designs and deliver it in a variety of file types. Your logo can be saved in these popular file formats: EPS, TIF, JPG, and GIF files. It can be delivered via email or mailed to you on a CD.
Understanding File Formats
There are two types of logo design files, vector and raster files.
Vector images are composed of lines and curves. When viewed up close, the lines appear smooth and fluid. Vector images look great in printed form. They retain their clarity and crispness no matter how often they're resized.
AI files - (Adobe Illustrator) .AI is the original file format that your logo design will be created in. It is vector-based. You should save a copy of your logo in this format. Once the image is saved as a TIFF, JPG, BMP, or GIF, it can no longer be edited.
EPS files - EPS files can be imported into many applications. Most times, this will be the high resolution format you supply to your printer. It is vector-based.
Raster (bitmap) images are made up of solid-colored pixels. They can't be enlarged without image degradation. Viewing a bitmap up close reveals hundreds of little jagged squares. Bitmap images are generally used for web graphics.
GIF files - GIF format uses compression to reduce file size. It it ideal for use in web pages.
JPG files - JPG files are generally used to display photographs on the internet. JPG is a compressed file format. The more the file is compressed, the less original quality and sharpness.
