: What file formats should I send to my client for his logo? I've been reading different articles and such and have come to the conclusion that I should send him: -ai file -eps file -jpg file

@Harper654

Agree with the answer above (and CAI's comment)... I'd just add that the .ai and .eps (assuming you're referring to a vector .eps) are redundant. No need to provide both. Usually an .eps is best, as it can be opened by other vector apps (CorelDraw, etc), whereas .ai is the native Illustrator format.

Also, I usually include a black & white (grayscale) version of the .eps and .jpg... The client may not every use them, but just in case, it's better to have done the color-to-b/w conversion yourself, than have them try to do it and get bad results. It's not necessary to provide a .png file in b/w, as that's a format for web, and there's really no scenario they'd ever need to use that in a digital space.

I would say that the file types you mentioned are fine, but as to whether to send a CMYK/RGB version, that depends on the medium the work will be displayed on. If it's print media, you will want to make sure it's CMYK for the printer to match the colors as close as possible and RGB for digital media. 300dpi is the standard for print/CMYK and 72dpi (at least) is what you're going to want for web/RGB files.
