Logo looks flattened

I have recently created a business card and when our company logo was incorporated the letters of the logo look flat.
The business card is standard size with the the original imported logo image being 6000x4200 png file. I tried making the size smaller by dragging the corner point to a smaller dimension but the result is flattened image that loses crispness.
Should I be using the png file or would it be best to work with the original .ai vectored file?
Thank you

It's hard to understand what you mean by "flat" seeing as logos are, in essence, actually flat. Do you mean that you are working on a logo that should have a 3d effect or a hint of depth and resizing messes it up? Good logos should be scalable and would not get distorted no matter what size you make them.

Logos look fuzzy in Studio Pro but NOT in the original QT movie

I assembled a flying logo (Photoshop) over video in Adobe After Effects and exported it as a Quicktime movie. The Logo looks anti-aliased and great in both AE and the Quicktime movie. But when I look at it in DVD Studio Pro it looks horrible (jagged and fuzzy). The video looks OK. I've done this a hundred times and never had this problem before!

No I haven't burned a DVD yet. I was hoping that perhaps it was just the viewer resolution in Studio Pro and that the video would look better once it was burned to DVD. I just don't recall seeing this happen before (the viewer window has always looked pretty true) and I've been working with SP for years. Maybe I'm just getting old and my eyes are going.
Guess I should try to follow through on authoring and see what I get.

Company logo looks bad

For some reason or company logo looks like $hit when viewed on a TV monitor. What's the best way to import a logo in FCP? JPG or Photoshop? What format? How should it be saved?
Thanks

I asked a similar question yesterday about which formats support Alpha channels and David Slater answered my question. I knew .png did, but he said tiff and photoshop did also.
I had 10 either eps files or scanned logos provided to me for a project that I opened in PS, did my thing on them to get just the logos and not the white background, and saved as .png. 8 worked, 2 had white artifacts all over them ONLY when rendered. Saving those two as tiffs did the trick. I had trouble getting what I wanted when saved as photoshop.
I think one of them had been in CMYK color space which may have been the problem. The other one was definitely in RGB so I don't know why it wasn't working.
Hope this helps some.

Apple Logo looks like a crack in the apple

Hello. My first Iphone yet 4. I have set up but noticed that the Apple Logo looks like the Apple has a black(crack) in it. What does that mean? Should I take it back to the shop.

This one.......?

Why does my Illustrator logo look ragged/pixelated when I import into ID?

I have designed a logo in Illustrator, and when I place it into my ID document, it looks all ragged. When I use the magnifier tool to get a better look, sure enough, it is all pixelated and ragged.
Does anyone know why this is so? Thanks!

The default image preview is a low-res proxy. View > Dispaly Performance > High Quality Display should fix it. You can set this as the default in the prefs.

Export for logo looks bad! Help

I'm trying to export my logo so I can supply it to someone to
print it on business cards. I opened an editable EPS of my logo and
modified it. I've tried saving in AI and EPS formats, but when I
import those files back in they are considerable rough compared to
my original. How can I export this thing as a graphic for printing
so it will look crystal clear and print beautifully??? I would
prefer it if it could have a transparent background and be
resizable.

Profitweb01, what type of file does your print shop need from
you?
if they can print from freehand, then create everything in
freehand including your logo, you can import the original Freehand
logo file into your new layout
if they need a postscript file of some kind then eps should
be fine, just be sure that you use colors from the same color
space, ie all cmyk, or all spot colors etc
an eps (encapsulated postscript) file contains 2 parts, a low
res header and the actual postscript data.
when you import the eps file into freehand, what you see on
screen is the low res header, this is normal, this is there for
positional purposes only, your print shop will print to a
postscript device of some description which will access the
encapsulated postscript part of the file,
If you print from a pc? then have a look online for
postscript printing software that can be used with your desktop
printer, this will allow you to see the actual high res version of
your document, I'm not sure whats available for windows as I only
use Mac, but I'm sure there's probably an affordable solution out
there somewhere.
you can of course print through Adobe Acrobat distiller to
produce a press ready pdf, however this is quite an expensive
option.
hope this helps

How to make a logo look distressed

Attached is a vector logo a client supplied to me. I'm trying to achieve the same distressed look for a logo that I will be having a stamp made from. What is the best way to go about this.

Added logos look pixelated and how to add a watermark?

Hey guys,
I'm having a bit of trouble. i'm trying to add a watermark with one half of the logo covering the footage and the other half the black bar. Because I need to crop the video the logo (ofcourse) gets cut in half. When I try importing the entire file as a .MOV file and then add the logo I have alot of loss in quality. Trying it in After Effects didn't help either.
Also, adding the logos and text in Premiere as a .PNG file looks pixelated even though the file is of a very high resolution. How can I fix this/

Jim,
Picture this...
You have 16:9 footage with really good stuff at the extreme right and the extreme left. SO you want to keep it that way. You also have 4:3 that you don't want to scale up. SO you use a 4:3 project. Now you have two choices. You can crop all of the 4:3 footage, or, when you get all done editing with both 16:9 and 4:3 you export the entire mixed clip as a 4:3 clip. Import that into Premiere Pro and crop the entire clip to look letterboxed. Now add a logo that happens to sit near the bottom right and some of it is over video, and some is over black letterbox.
Only none of this is relevant other than to explain that he has a problem with his logo in that it looks pixelated.
Solve the pixelation and the other explanation is not relevant.

Logo looks pixelated

pixelated logo. I have done something wrong and need help. this is how it looks

deegee,
It looks like something saved/exported at a small size to a raster format.
What happens if you Save for Web at a larger size in pixels x pixels (set it in the Image Size window where the Text/Art Optimized option is) or Export at a higher resolution?

Ripped movie logo/ looks like a piece of film

I am not able to view anything that uses quicktime. I click on the link that has media that requires quicktime and all I get is the blue Q and then a ripped piece of film or movie logo with the blue Q on it. I have checked firewall settings under control panel, and the quicktime setting under control panel. I can't find anything about this on the board, and I have no idea what to do to fix this. I have deleted and reinstalled quicktime. What do I need to do next?

How could that happen without being 'Settings'?

Logo looks fuzzy

the edges are pixelated or fuzzy. This is using only the Ariel font without enhancments. Thanks for helping.

That must be the wrong one?? One minute.

I designed a logo that has a gold rule that feathers at both ends. When I save this as an EPS and try to use it on a dark background, the entire logo looks fine, except the rule...where it feathers it turns white when it should fade out.

As doug says EPS doesn't support any transparency. The fade out you are using is a transparency effect. Use PDF 1.4 or above to display the transparency properly.

Movie flattened after sharing to DVD

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find it, if it has been.
After sharing to full quality DVD, I open my movie in Quicktime 6.5.2 and it looks flattened. Sort of squashed. Like it was being stretched out sideways.
I have one logo that is suppose to be round, but it ends up being more than oval shaped.
I selected DV format and NOT widescreen before making my movie. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

Also I've noticed that in Quicktime, everything in the movie looks really lousy. Like I have lost all my quality, by sharing to Qu
The Full Quality DV movie is probably fine, but the movie's High Quality playback setting is not turned on. You need QuickTime Pro to turn it on. When you play it in QuickTime Player, you don't see the quality that's there.
Likewise, a DV movie looks "squished". That's normal too.
Don't worry about these features; they don't affect the quality of the image on the DVD. Everything is just as it should be; DV just looks different than you expect.
Everyone says the same the first time they see a Full Quality DV movie. The name comes not because it has a "full quality" image. Rather, it's because this type of QuickTime movie preserves all the quality of the source material. And because the movie is very large, the High Quality playback was historically turned off so the movie would play smoothly on yesterday's Macs.
To include it on your DVD, just drag it into the iDVD window. Everything will be fine.

Translucent logo sees white details take on colour of logo base.

Hi.
How should vector artwork be drawn in Freehand so that white details sitting over a blue base are still readable when alpha of e.g. 50% is applied in Flash 8 ?
In Freehand 9 I created a logo. Logo has an rgb mix blue base rectangle and rgb white drawn shapes on top. I also drew over the text and gave it the rgb blue as a fill with line none. That sits on top of one of the white shapes.
Layer palette:-
Blue traced text
White shapes
Background blue box
Save the file, then import to library in Flash 8
Looks fine in library preview and when dragged to stage.
Apply alpha 50% and the white details go faint leaving the blue box visible but fainter,
What should happen, e.g. if it was a raster image, is that the logo would still retain the white details, the whole thing in unison would go fainter, the logo when over white would still have white details. It should be a readable faint logo.
Secondly those letters I drew from scratch are still a strong blue ! This is nuts ! Now PC's dont have a brain so it cannot be thinking hey these look like letters so lets make out they are truetype or postscript and not let the alpha value affect them ! They are simply drawn shapes like all the other bits, but filled with blue, so why dont they go faint like the blue background. Perhaps they have gone faint but then its laying these over the faint ble background and as such they get stronger in colour.
I tried making all the artwork as one layer, using xtra>path operations>punch, punching out the white details into the blue base, like a pastry shape cutter ! It then didn't see the first character and still didnt when alpha was made 50%. I presume Flash doesnt recognise freehand punch command. Both progs made by Macromedia !
Import to library has flatten layers checked, but I also put all the characters onto one layer in freehand just to test and still no better !
This logo forms a watermark pattern with many of them across a large artwork, I presume vector is more friendly for file size and speed than a raster image.
I converted it to psd and applied opacity in photoshop then imported the psd file, it thought about it for a while then in it came, and with the logo looking translucent with white details viewable, translucent and showing through the full colour of whatever the logo was laid over, as opposed to showing through the logo blue ! This though won't run as quick given the file size, or will it ?
I did try importing a 100% opaque psd file but flash cant apply alpha to it !
I need to know though why a simple white and blue freehand drawn logo sees the white vanish and the blue not do so.

Can you post the logo?

Facing problem with logo in the PDF attachment when sending mail...

hi friends,
i'm facing problem with logo in the PDF attachment to the mail.
my requirement:
1. enter spool number and mail id in the selection screen.
process:
1. now the program will fetch the spool data and converts it to PDF.
2. but when i'm trying to send mail with this PDF as attachment.
when i open the PDF file from the mail, logo is not coming properly (looks disturbed).
can anyone help me how to resolve this issue...
thanks in advance, murashali.

hi dinakar, thanks for your mail...
logo looks good in spool/script/smartform.
even it look good when i download this spool to pdf and to the presentation server as pdf file.
i'm using CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
when i used CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, is gives a msg - 'spool number not found'.
here i'm using folloing code to pass pdf to the function module: SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
code:
Transfer the 132-long strings to 255-long strings
lt_mtab_pdf[] = pdf[].
LOOP AT lt_mtab_pdf INTO lwa_mtab_pdf.
    TRANSLATE lwa_mtab_pdf USING ' ~'.
    CONCATENATE lv_gd_buffer lwa_mtab_pdf INTO lv_gd_buffer.
    CLEAR lwa_mtab_pdf.
ENDLOOP.
TRANSLATE lv_gd_buffer USING '~ '.
DO.
    lwa_mess_att = lv_gd_buffer.
    APPEND lwa_mess_att TO lt_mess_att.
    CLEAR lwa_mess_att.
    SHIFT lv_gd_buffer LEFT BY 255 PLACES.
    IF lv_gd_buffer IS INITIAL.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
NOTE: problem i believe is with ''. i'm getting this tilt symbol () in my pdf internal table. here in the above code the line   TRANSLATE lv_gd_buffer USING '~ ' is changing the existing tilt to space. so my logo is getting disturbed.
even i tried with REPLACE this tilt with other char, but it doent work.
can you give any idea...
