AI is a proprietary vector-based file format by Adobe Systems. It is the standard source file for your logo. Some print shops will request this file when prepping a project for print.
Like a PDF, an EPS can be edited with any vector graphics program. Although it’s becoming outdated, some print shops with older software will still request these files so they’re good to have on hand.
Another editable vector-based file format. Its universal file format makes it extremely versatile. It’s typically used for printing
and easily sharing documents online.
SVGs are great for websites or apps to keep logos and icons sharp and are infinitely scalable without pixelation.
A popular image format that is commonly used for photographs and web graphics. Its lossy compression allows for smaller file sizes than PNG, but does not support transparent backgrounds.
Another image file format that is great
for web graphics and digital displays. Supporting transparent backgrounds is
