Why does my logo have to be an EPS file?
Why does my logo have to be an EPS file?
EPS files allow for flexibility – particularly in terms of resizing – and provide the best quality version of your logo. We will need to resize your company logo in order to design your exhibition board. Non-vector files appear pixelated or warped when resized.
What should my logo look like?
What should my logo look like?
Your logo is the first thing Web Summit attendees will see, we recommend going to a designer get one created. Getting a logo made by a professional is an investment into your company’s future.
If you already have a logo created we require an .eps version of it to allow us to scale for your exhibition board. If your logo is predominantly white, or contains white text, please consider using an alternative version to help it stand out against the white background of your board.
Your logo cannot contain a QR code. External QR codes are not compatible with our in-app QR code scanner and may cause confusion among attendees.
Additionally, please do not add another company’s logo to your exhibition board.
My logo will not upload to my exhibition board, what do I do?
My logo will not upload to my exhibition board, what do I do?
Logos must be uploaded in vector/EPS format. Other file types – including JPG, PNG and GIF – are pixel-based file formats and will not offer the best image quality. If you attempt to resize a pixel-based image, the pixels will become visible and your logo will appear blurry. For this reason, our site does not allow them to be uploaded.
How can I create an EPS version of my logo?
How can I create an EPS version of my logo?
EPS files can only be created in applications such as Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. If you do not have access to this software, please contact your designer, who will have these files available.
