Logo Optimization Tips

File Size

  • Compress PNG files using tools like TinyPNG
  • Use SVG format when possible (smaller file size, scalable)
  • Optimize JPG quality (85-90% is usually sufficient)

Image Quality

  • Use high-resolution source files
  • Export at 2x the display size for retina displays
  • Maintain aspect ratio when resizing

Format Selection

  • PNG: Best for logos with transparency or text
  • SVG: Best for simple logos, perfect scaling
  • JPG: Only if transparency not needed and file size is critical

Best Practices

Design

  • Keep logo simple and recognizable
  • Ensure it works on both light and dark backgrounds
  • Test at various sizes (small nav icon to large hero)
  • Maintain brand consistency

Technical

  • Use transparent backgrounds when possible
  • Optimize file size without sacrificing quality
  • Use appropriate format (PNG for transparency, SVG for scalability)
