File Types and Usage
.jpg
Appropriate for online use such as email and websites, as well as desktop printing with Microsoft applications

Usually used as an alternative to a .jpg file when a transparent background is required – there will be no white box around the logo; it’s ideal for online use and desktop printing with Microsoft applications
.eps
Not viewable without special software, these are also called “vector” files and are used by print shops for vinyl printing, truck graphics, etc.; an .eps file allows for the logo to be scaled to larger sizes without losing its crispness; used for commercial printing and signs
