Congratulations on your new logo!
Please see below for important information regarding your new logo files.
1.
How do I open my logo.zip attachment?
First, save your attachment
to your hard drive, double click on it to open and you will see 3 files. Copy
the files in the logo.zip folder to another location on your hard drive. If
your logo.zip file did not open you will need to download unzipping software.
You can download an evaluation copy from www.winzip.com (LogoYes is not responsible for any installation
problems with unzipping software.)

What’s the difference between an EPS, a JPEG and a GIF?
An
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is
a vector-based, high-resolution file that can be re-sized (enlarged or reduced)
without losing detail. It is the standard file format for printing and is the
file you will need to produce your printed materials. Opening an EPS requires
special software, so you may not be able to view your EPS onscreen. Please see
the FAQ’s on the LogoYes.com homepage for a list of software that allow you
view/edit this file. NOTE:
Just because your EPS file displays poorly onscreen does not mean it will print
badly.
A JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a compressed image
file used on the internet and ready for your website. It is meant to be
displayed on screen and is NOT meant for printing. A JPEG is a much smaller
resolution file than an EPS and cannot be enlarged without losing design
detail. Do not print it as the quality may appear blurred or jagged
(“bit-mapped”). Please see the FAQ’s on the LogoYes.com homepage for a list of
software that allow you to view/edit this file. NOTE: Just because
your JPEG file looks good onscreen does not mean it will print well.
A
GIF (Graphics
Interchange Format) is used for website development and is saved with a
transparent background. Please see the
FAQ’s on the LogoYes.com homepage for a list of software that allow you to
view/edit this file.
3.
What about color?
Your EPS is delivered in CMYK
mode. This is what your printer will need to print your stationery. Your
printer can match this to a PMS (Pantone® Matching System) color if you
prefer.Your JPEG is in RGB mode. This is the format you can use for your
website.
4.
Why does my GIF have a "box" around it when I view it on screen?
This is a transparent
bounding box that does not affect how your logo will print or be viewed when
used on the web.
