Your logo is a big part of promoting you. If it doesn't look good, you don't look good. When sending us artwork there are some things you need to know...
Vector drawing are images created in programs that use mathematical formulas to create their shapes & lines. They can be enlarged or reduced without altering their look.
Bitmap drawings use pixels (small squares) to build up an image. Since there are no smooth curves involved, when an image is enlarged, the pixels become more obvious and the image becomes "jagged." The higher the resolution the more pixels are in a given area and the "jaggedness" is reduced.
 
Example: Vector Example: Bitmap
We prefer vector drawings because in this line of work we are constantly resizing logos to fit the item and its purpose. Following are the formats accepted.

Please contact your sales representative to get the imprint area for your product. If Excel Group creates the artwork you will receive a faxed or e-mailed proof of your layout. Please be sure to check all spelling and numbers.
If your logo requires that you use a certain PMS color please let us know.
