In our business, artwork is the most important part of the job. It usually takes the longest to prepare and if it is bad, the final product will be worse. As the saying goes…garbage in, garbage out.

When having a logo designed for your company, you should find out:

Do I get a copy of the logo?

Although you are paying someone to design a logo for you, you may not actually be paying for the rights to that logo. Make sure you understand how the designer works. Many times, companies will just be doing the design for the specific job and give you a lower price on the designing. In this case, you are paying only for the labor, not for the rights to the logo.

This is what we do at QualiTEES. We charge $65.00 to do 2 layouts and up to 2 revisions, many companies will charge $150 - $200 for this on the low end, but you will get so much more. You will get a CD with several file types of your logo in both black & white and color.  And, in most cases you have the rights to the logo as well.

What file formats will I get the logo in? 

Different printers and different design jobs require different file formats. Below are formats that you

should have for your company.  Be advised, if you go to a printer and ask them to make you a

logo/design for the job they are doing for you they are not required to give you a copy of these

formats unless agreed upon in writing.

Eps - An eps is a vector image of your logo. This means you can make it as big or as small as you like without compromising print quality. It is also the file you can manipulate should you ever need to make changes to your logo.  You will use tis format for most of your printing - for items such as: stationery & business cards, signs, brochures & flyers, ads,postcards, vehicle graphics,  embroidery & screen printing.
