Once you have a great logo, you need to be able to share it across a variety of platforms in the highest quality possible.
That’s where a vector based logo file comes into play.
What is a Logo Vector File?
Simply put, a vector file is a scalable image that does not lose quality. A vector file format is made up of tiny points, lines, and curves that enable it to maintain resolution no matter how far it’s zoomed in or out.
Graphic designers create vector graphic files to create logos so that the file can maintain quality when used in a variety of places.
The most common vector file types are .ai, .eps, .pdf, or .svg.
What is a Raster Graphic?
If you’ve done any research on graphics, you’ve likely seen the term “raster” as a graphics format in addition to vector.
Raster graphics are made up of pixels, which are small colored squares that make up the entire graphic.
The most common raster files are .jpg, .png, and .gif formats.
Vector Vs Raster
Unlike rasterized images, vector graphics will never lose quality or pixelate no matter how much the file is changed.
In this example, you can see the difference between the pixelated raster image versus the scalable vector image:

Think about all the places your logo will be used for your business—from your website, social media accounts, print publications, billboards, office signage and more.
Your clear, crisp logo from a vector file will look great on a giant highway billboard or a small print flier that promotes your services.
