Why You Should Have a Vector Version of Your Logo?

A vector graphic is made up of points, lines and curves related to one another using mathematical formulas. The value of a Vector logo boils down to two parts: flexibility and scalability. Vector logos are flexible because they can be output to just about any common Raster image format (jpg, png, gif, tiff, etc.). Vector logos are also scalable in size allowing them to be enlarged to fit the side of a blimp or reduced to the size of a business card without jeopardizing quality.

A look at vector files, why they’re important in designing logos and why you shouldn’t ever design a logo in Photoshop. Every logo starts as a concept. Be it napkin doodles or scribbles in Paint, at the end of the day, we are going to need to create digital files in various setups. Pantone colors. Grayscale. Full color. - Every logo should always be created as vector art first not in pixel-based software like Photoshop Let's take a look why Every logo starts with a rough concept then we 'll need to create digital files in various setups - Panton spot colors - Black and White - Perhaps full color If we build our logo in Photoshop we will end up with a pixel - based image full colors and Black and White pixel-based formats are ideal for - the web - the web with transparency - Special FX in Photoshop Pixel-based format are not suited for - enlarging and Scaling up - Spot color printing - Editing and changing colors.

Vector Graphics Vs Raster Graphics

There are numerous Raster graphic formats, and the strengths and weaknesses of each is a post of its own. The real benefit of a Vector graphic over Raster graphic is obvious once an image is scaled larger than its original size. Notice the quality of the Vector format is maintained as it’s magnified, whereas the Raster format looks terrible.

Raster graphics can be scaled down in size and typically maintain their quality. Once you start increasing the size of a Raster graphic, the quality degrades dramatically and you will have a very blurry version of your logo. This is a common problem and is a critical reason to have your logo in Vector format.

Whenever a Raster version of your logo is requested, use the Vector version to generate the output. This will ensure the absolute highest quality and accurate representation of your brand. For more information, please visit https://www.ceymplon.lk/design.
