Is a Logo Design my brand?
Many people think that a logo design firms job is to build their brand. This is far from the truth. A logo design firms responsibility is to develop an identity with the logo design developed. It is the clients job to build the brand. A brand is how your clients perceive you and your company. Not your logo design.

Logo Design File Types
Graphics (or Logo Design)
fall into to two main categories:
Vector logo design
Bitmap logo design
The difference between these two types of logo design is
what they're made up of. Vector logo designs are
made up of lines and curves. Bitmap logo designs are made up of little squares called pixels.
Notice
that even blown up this large, it's still
fairly smooth. You only see a little bit of
jagginess because your monitor can only display
this logo design using pixels. If you were to
print it out, you'd see that it's as smooth
as the same graphic at 100%.
Here's the same logo design — except it's a
bitmap logo design — blown up roughly the
same amount. Doesn't look the same?
You can see obvious jagginess or "stairstepping",
and the text is unreadable in this logo design.
That's
because this is a bitmap logo design. It's composed
of little squares called pixels. When you
enlarge the logo design, the software must guess
where to put the extra pixels necessary to
make the logo design larger. Let's zoom in even closer
on these logo design.
Here's a closeup of the logo design in the
bitmap graphic. Now you can see the pixels,
close up and personal. The reason they're
different colors is because of antialiasing.
Here's a closeup of the logo design in the
vector logo design. Looks nice and smooth.
Here's a closeup of the logo design in the
bitmap logo design, after it's been converted
to bitmap mode. The logo design is no longer antialiased,
so you can really see the jaggies —
the individual little squares, or pixels.
Finally,
let's take a look at what happens to this
same logo design — in both vector and bitmap
format — when it's reduced in size.
This comparison is a little unfair, because
we're comparing apples and oranges, so to
speak. We've got to zoom in on the reduced logo design in order to see anything: this changes
nothing in a vector logo design, but as we've
seen before, zooming does interesting things
to bitmap logo design.
Above is the vector version of the logo design.
It's been reduced 50%, and you can see that
basically the logo design is the same. The reason the lines
are thicker is because of the settings in
CorelDRAW!, nothing to do with the vector logo design format.
This is the bitmap version of the logo design reduced
50%, with a zoomed in view. You can see from
both that reducing a bitmap logo design doesn't
create a pretty picture.
Basically,
when you enlarge a bitmap logo design you'll notice
pixelation (jaggies or stairstepping shown
above). That's because the software has to
guess where to put the extra pixels.
When
you reduce the logo design, the software has to
decide which pixels to throw out. Both the
addition and discarding of pixels in software
is what's know as interpolation. You'll usually
get less pixelation if you reduce or enlarge
by even amounts, like 25%, 50%, and 75%.
Logo design File Formats
There's a bewildering amount of logo design file
formats out there. When the pixels settle,
the most common file formats in the logo design world can be counted on two hands.
VectorEncapsulated
Postscript (EPS)
Adobe Illustrator (AI)
Windows Metafile (WMF)
Bitmap
TIFF
JPG
GIF
A word about "native formats": almost
every software program has a file format that
is native to that program, and that program
alone. Photoshop's is PSD; CorelDRAW! is CDR;
and so on. Always save your logo design in your
software's native format before saving it
in the file format you'll be using in the
end. That makes it really easy to make changes
to the original logo design.
So which
format do you use?
Hopefully by now you understand the difference
between bitmap and vector logo design. You may
even already suspect when you should use which.
But I won't leave you wondering.
At the
moment, the only format that can be easily
viewed on the Web is bitmap logo designs, GIF
and JPG. There are a few vector formats that
can be viewed on the Web, but as of this writing,
they all require plugins. Your viewers shouldn't
be left in the cold if they don't happen to
have a plugin installed.
Given
the limitations of the bitmap format, you
may be wondering why you'd ever use it outside
of the Web. If you scan a photograph, you'll
be forced to save it as a bitmap; the same
is true of digital pictures.
Vector logo designs are great because of their easy scaleability.
Be careful, though: EPS graphics require a
PostScript printer to print correctly. If
you try to print an EPS logo design to a non-PostScript
printer, the only thing that will print is
the low resolution header.
On the
Windows platform, WMF is a common vector format.
But if you'll be going to a service bureau,
chances are they won't know what to make of
your WMFs. WMF is fine if you'll be use your
laser printer output as camera ready logo design,
but if you'll be getting film run stick with
EPS or AI
