What Files Should You Get With a Logo?

The short answer

You should get vector files (SVG, plus PDF or AI), PNGs with transparent backgrounds, versions for light and dark backgrounds, and a favicon or app icon. Ask for the source file too. Without vectors you cannot scale or edit the logo later.

FAQ

Is a PNG enough?

No. A PNG blurs when enlarged. Always get vectors.

Do we need the font files?
