  • Submit high resolution corporate logo for event onsite Catalyst signage 
Each company in the project 
  • Logo files should be supplied in a high res format preferably VECTOR files.   Vector files are scalable and do not lose integrity if scaled.   They are normally files ending in .ai (preferred) or .eps
  • Files ending in .svg, or .pdf will need to be checked by the designer before confirming if they are of acceptable quality. 
  • NOT ACCEPTED: Logo files end with .png, .jpg or .jpeg.  These files are compressed and are not good enough quality to be enlarged and printed.  This is why we cannot use the logo from your Catalyst project webpage.

  • Logos may be withheld from signage until the Catalyst SOW is signed.
