How to Use
The .zip files linked here contain logo files in EPS, JPG, and PNG formats:

  • EPS images are vector-based; they are resolution independent-based on objects, not pixels. Vector-based EPS graphics will print best.

  • JPG is the most common format used on the web. The JPG file is small, compressed and transmits easily via the web.

  • PNG files provide both high quality and the ability to be displayed with transparency on a colored background.
