Logo Types

Which file do I need?

There are a few different options, and you often have more than one choice. If one file doesn't work, try a different one (instructions for downloading files are included below). We will be adding more logos with nameplates over time.

pdf files are the most likely solution if your needs are print-related. They are high-resolution and cross-platform.

tif files are high-resolution files best used for print production. Use this before settling for a jpg. Do not enlarge tifs-they will degrade.

jpg files can be used for print or Web. Be careful not to open and save repeatedly in image editors-they will degrade. You can shrink jpgs, but not enlarge.

png files have a transparent background for Web use. If you have a dark background and need a reversed logo, please contact university communications for help.

eps and ai files are used to imprint or engrave on items like T-shirts, pens, signs, coasters, mugs. They can be enlarged. If your computer is up to it, eps files are also the very best to use for print projects. But since they are postscript files, Windows-based computers often have trouble with them.
