HOW IT WORKS


  When do you start working on my project?
We will start working on your project as soon as we receive your logo request.

  How long does it take before I can see my samples?
Your samples will be presented to you five business days after we receive your payment.

  How can I see my logo design samples?
After we receive your payment we will create a personal web page for you where we will upload your logo design samples.

  How many changes may I ask for my logo design?
Unlimited changes can be applied to your chosen logo design, until you are 100% satisfied.
(please see important package details)

  What if I don't like any of initial logo designs?
You will be presented with six or more completely new logo design variations.

  What if I have my own idea for the logo design?
Any ideas or requests you may have for your future logo design you may indicate in your logo request, or contact your project coordinator. Please be as specific as possible.

  Can you redo my existing logo design?
Yes. Please provide us with the latest version of your logo design, and mention it in your logo request.

  Do you do illustrations?
Our packages and prices do not include illustration designs. Please contact us to get our quotes on illustrations.

  What is the difference between a corporate image and an illustration?
There is a big difference between a corporate image and an illustration. Corporate images are very simple, which makes them unique, memorable and highly recognizable from any distance and at any size. Illustrations are usually a very complicated artwork that looses it's quality when reduced in size. Very busy images like these are hard to read and recognize.

  Do you make logo design for products, titles, or names?
Yes, we create any type of graphic identity.

  When I view my stationery on the web site it seems to have different colors from my original logo design?
Yes, it happens because we match your logos RGB colors with Pantone colors for your stationery. Pantone colors may appear different on screen because we match them on the Pantone chart as it will appear when it gets printed. You will get a version of your logo in RGB colors as well.

  Who keeps the rights of the created logo design?
All the rights of the Artwork and Logos we create for our customers belong to our customers.

  What is the difference between the Golden and the Platinum package?
In the Platinum package we offer additional Camera Ready Artwork.

  What is Camera Ready Artwork?
Camera Ready Artwork is a bitmap, existing logo, hand drawn sketch, scan or fax converted into EPS vector art (scalable and clean).

  Why do I want Camera Ready Artwork?
It is good to have this type of file for use in any type of future project, as there is no limit to scalability and quality.

  Will you provide me with scalable vector files?
Yes, we provide you with scalable vector files.

  What is a scalable vector file?
Vector files are files that you can resize, scale, and even change colors or fonts without loosing any quality or resolution on your image. It's best to make GIFs or any other bitmap formats you may need for your web site. Vector files are mostly used by professional designers or print shops.

  What is bitmap file?
Bitmap files are a more popular file that are the best to use on the Web. You may use them on most word applications, they are small in size, but hard to modify because of their poor resolution. You may notice a big distortion in your image if you try to scale a bitmap file. The most popular bitmap files are GIF, JPEG, TIFF and BMP.

  What are Pantone colors?
Pantone colors are used by professional print shops around the world. They are universal colors that help designers, print shops and customers talk in one language.

  How can I use vector files?
Vector files are used on specific vector based software applications such as Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw.

  How can I use bitmap files?
Bitmap files may be used in a large variety of software applications, such as Adobe Photoshop, Photo Paint or many other programs. They can be opened in most word processing applications such as Microsoft Word and many Web design programs.

  Can I edit my business cards and stationery?
Yes, you can edit, or change all the information on your business card and stationery. You will need to have Adobe Illustrator , or Corel Draw installed on your computer, because your stationery files are in a vector format.

  Why does the color look different when I print it?
Your personal printer doesn`t use exact colors that you see on the screen. You have to calibrate your printer with the screen first for the best match.

  What is a difference between CMYK and Pantone colors?
CMYK - is a four color process printing technique, widely used in home printers and even industrial printing. Pros: relatively less expensive; can print in unlimited amount of colors; can be printed on a home computer. Cons: colors are not very sharp; printed colors almost always will be in different shades (very hard to control the lightness and saturation of the colors each time it is printed); requires a lot of printer calibration; is limited to a less heavy paper stock. Conclusion: CMYK is preferable for printing in more than 3 colors. It works best for home and office printing, but is not the best solution for professionally printed stationery. Pantone – is a spot color printing technique, only used in professional print shops. Pros: colors are very sharp and always accurate for every printing; can be printed in very large quantities; can be printed on heavy paper stock and multiple paper surfaces. Cons: Not the cheapest solution, as it gets very expensive if used more than 3 colors; not suitable for home office printing. Conclusion: This is the most recommended printing technique for printing high-quality professional stationery; not good for home printing.
