Creating a logo for print and web

[jln32]

hello forum!

can someone tell me where in this forum or archives there was a posting about using a file for both print and web, specifically saving your PS file in a PDF or tiff format and being able to enlarge the object without any resolution loss?

am creating a logo for both print and web, and i remember reading somewhere about being able to save it in a PDF format while maintaining the ability to later enlarge or decrease the file without loss of resolution.

sorry my question is kinda vague, but i'm going on no sleep!

any help is appreciated.

Could be that this is the thread you're looking for....

BLUDVLZ "Need advice on preparing a logo for entire company use..." 6/23/03 6:05pm </cgi-bin/webx?14@@.1de9a763/0>

If not, do a search on BLUDVLZ in this forum. He does a lot of Logo work and usually responds to these types of questions - I've learned a lot from him.

Peace,

Why is it whenever someone brings up problems with creating logos and reoslution dependency everyone says to use vectors? While I agree that vector artwork is used, and rightly so, for the vast majority of logos, this is not the correct answer. The correct answer is to make your logo as resolution independent as possible. If you are using Photoshop, this means to create the logo using very high-resolution files (600 dpi or higher) and make then as large in dimension as possible.

Now, don't get me wrong. I can't recall a logo I've designed where I didn't use Illustrator to create it. Using vectors is the best way to ensure resolution independence but there are things you can do with raster images that you can't do with vectors and perhaps this is the only way to solve the particular problem.

I couldn't agree more Stuart.
