EPS logo design file formats.
Encapsulated post script files - the work horses of your design assets.
 Encapsulated Postscript (.eps) files are the Vector based source files of ANY logo design or logo repair projects at The Logo Factory. This is a editable and scalable version of your new logo from which we can create all other formats and image types. Editing of this file generally requires a Vector based software (Adobe Illustrator is the choice of The Logo Factory designers) but an .eps file can be imported and printed by a variety of publishing and office applications. This file format has your logo Pantone Matching System (PMS) or CMYK color values embedded within so this is the file that your print shop will require. We consider this to be a professional file - one that requires a little knowledge and/or software to open and edit.

EPS Formats - Properties.
Advantages and distinct properties of your .eps based logo files. Some of the editing properties listed below will require the use of professional Vector drawing software such as Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw.
Spot color reproduction available. Your logo can be reproduced as a spot color design (using Pantone Matching System colors), an economical and highly accurate method of traditional print (letterheads, business cards, etc.).
CMYK color reproduction available. Your logo can be reproduced in conjunction with other CMYK images (ie: color photographs in brochures and catalogues). Will require four color process printing.
RGB color reproduction available. Your logo can be converted to feature RGB colors for use in electronic publishing
Small file size. Can be transported to printers, design vendors & transmitted electronically (via e-mail) efficiently.
Editable text. The text portion of your logo can be replaced easily (will require access to the font originally used in the design as the text in your logo will generally be outlined).
Selectable editing. Individual pieces of your logo can be edited, resized, moved or removed.
Scalable (reduction). Your logo can be scaled down without any image degradation.
Scalable (enlargement). Due to unlimited resolution, your logo can be used at any size without degradation.
Empty background box. Your logo can be placed on any colored background without 'bounding box' effect. .eps based images do not have any background thus any background that the image is placed on will 'peek' through the 'holes' in your logo's footprint.
color swapable. The colors of your logo can be changed quickly. You can select individual portions of your design, or change all the colors at once (globally).
Convertible. You can create any other format of your logo from an .eps based version. These other versions (including pixel based formats) can be created at any size and at any resolution.
Create Black/White greyscale (halftone) logo. Your logo can be converted to Black and White and converted to all applicable formats.
Create Black/White linear logo. Your logo can be converted to linear (0% tone) Black and White logo version.
