Logo Submission

To ensure your logo is reproduced correctly please follow these guidelines for logo submission:

File Formats for logos:

We can accept: Vector files (e.g. .eps or .ai files)*

What's this?
A Vector file is a coordinate based image (think geometry class plotting graphs)
Vector images DO scale infinitely with high resolution and the colors can be isolated and changed easily.

We cannot accept: Rasterized files

What's this?
A Rasterized file is a pixel based image (think web images and digital camera photos) Rasterized images simply do not retain enough information to scale infinitely and retain high resolution on large format printing.

It is always useful to include a jpeg image file of your logo for representational and matching purposes only. We never use these files for printing.

*We cannot use an .ai or .eps with a .jpeg embedded in the file. In this case the art would need to be converted into a vector version.

Art Recreation Fees
If you can only submit .jpegs or Rasterized pixel art we may be able convert simple-art free of charge, however if it is complex logo we will have to charge you for it.

Our art charge is $150 per hour with a one hour minimum.
