    What should I ask for when having a new logo made so I can make it as large or small as I want. Do I ask for original in PNG and/or Photoshop or AI. Do I need to ask for high resolution, etc...

    Need Your Advice, thanks!

    Ideally, you'd want a vector image that you can scale up to HUGE sizes - ai (Illustrator), indd (InDesign), anything vector.

    If not, the next best thing is a BIG high res (300dpi+) Photoshop file.

    Ask the designer for a .ai or .eps file. Tell them to make the fonts outlines.

    from my experiences, better use .ai. then you can export to any format easily.

    Illustrator is the way to go. If the customer is going to get a banner made up the quality may not be good enough in photoshop to blow it up to the required size.
