Life Of E's

Question:

I am in the process of buying a logo on elance.  My logo is in color – but I plan on getting colored business cards.  Do I need to ask for a different logo that would work with the color of card I want – or can the printer I choose play with the font colors, etc. without permission from the original artist?

Answer:

First answer is:  If you know what color you want your business card to be, then let your Elance designer know that so s/he can design cards that would show well on a colored business card. 

Second answer is:  Be sure to ask your elance designer to send you your logo in as many formats as possible including the following:  jpg, eps, psd, pdf.  There are others, but these are some of the main ones.  Make sure the designer knows that you intend to use your logo in a number of places and need to have the most options available in terms of how you (or someone else) can manipulate the design. 

Third answer:  You own the logo, so once you have it, you can make the changes you need to.  So that’s why you want to get it in different formats–that way you can manipulate it. 

Does this answer your question?  If not, ask more.

Thanks, Jeni!
