Graphic Downloads
The APEC Logo is available for download in a few different file formats: AI, EPS, TIFF GIF and JPEG. To help decide which is best for your purpose refer to the following descriptions of each file type.

AI (Adobe Illustrator File Format - native file format of Adobe Illustrator) and EPS (Encapsulated Postscript®)
Both of these format are scalable vector (line) artwork. These are the best formats for professional page layout and illustration programs such as Adobe's InDesign and Illustrator and Quark XPress. Such programs are used to create documents suitable for reproduction via digital or offset printing processes by a professional printer.

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)
This format is suitable for Microsoft Office® programs or desktop publishing.

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)
For use on web pages and presentation programs such as powerpoint. They are not suitable for print reproduction.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
Recommended for photographs and suitable for Microsoft Office® programs. This format is not recommended for professional page layout or high-end production as it is does not lend itself to ensuring the quality of rendering, transparency support, and color stability.
