Please help with logo!

Hi,

I made a simple logo for my site with illustrator and saved it as a gif file (save for web option). When I load it up the site, the quality is decent but I notice some white specs that outline the lettering and image. And against a dark backrgound, the white outline specs are definitely noticeable.

Is there a better way of getting my logo up to the site (jpg, etc), or are there adjustments that I should be making to get the best quality for the logo? Does the type of font matter?

Thanks so much!

Honestly, IMO, the best quality you can get is by saving it as a .png file

EDIT: .png AND .jpg

your best bet is to save the image with the same colored background where logo will be

Hi,

thanks! I hear that png files are still not fully supported across the board on browsers, is that correct.

And then with .jpg files, I think the main thing with them is that i can't save them with a transparent background, so if use .jpg, then should I be saving them wih part of the forum background (say a particular color) as the background for the logo?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks princeton and redline, I must have been typing while you posted.

Are there specific adjustments I should be making to make it the best quality possible? There seems to be quite a few adjustments I can make with illustrator.

Thanks so much, I'll give it a try!
