: Correct settings when it's for both print and screen? Let's say I'm designing a logo or some other artwork that it's both for printing and screen. How should I set my ai file? CMYK or RGB?

Generally there are several files needed when creating a logo. It is rare that "one file rules them all" so to speak. Unless the logo itself is so simplified that some variations can be ignored.

It's a good idea to create CMYK, Spot color, one color greyscale, sometimes one color non-greyscale, and RGB files for any brand.

In addition, there may also be a need to variations greater than the color space. A logo may be somewhat simplified for reduced size use. For example, look the UPS logo has some slight variations for color use:



If you need these for print and for web, they would need all the formats I listed above, totaling roughly 15 separate files for a single logo.

So yes, you create multiple files.
