Can I make a JPG of a logo I create in Pages?

Question

Want to make a JPG from a Pages document.
I imported a graphic into my document and put some text over it to create a logo.
I made my document size small (the size of the actual logo), so there's no extra white space all around.
Can I now make this logo I created into a JPG file for importing into other applications? I know how to make a PDF or a PING, but not a JPG.
Thanks for any help or thoughts.

Peter isn't the single one saying that jpeg is the worse format.
When you build a logo with Pages, you use vectorial objects which aren't resolution dependant.
If you save as jpeg, you replace the vectorial object by a compressed version of the bitmap built to display the object at your screen resolution.
Saving as PDF will keep the vectorial attributes.
Here is a script which build the PDF in a single call.
--[SCRIPT chartor_logo_toPDF.scpt]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : chartor_logo_toPDF.scpt
déplacer le nouveau fichier script dans le dossier :
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Utilisateurs:<votreCompte>:
Sélectionner un graphique ou un logo, copier dans le Presse-papiers.
aller au menu Scripts, puis choisir chartor_logo_toPDF
Le script créra un nouveau document TextEdit vierge dans lequel il collera l’objet copié.
Il enregistrera ce document temporaire puis en extraira le PDF contenant l’objet.

L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau "Général" du dialogue Préférences de l'Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus".
--=====
Save the script as a Script : chartor_logo_toPDF.scpt
Move the newly created script file into the folder :
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:
Select a chart or a logo and copy it to the clipboard.
go to the Scripts Menu, then choose chartor_logo_toPDF
The script will create a blank TextEdit document in which it will paste the chart.
It will save the doc then open the PDF storing the chart in the TextEdit document.

The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.
Under 10.6.x,
go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.
