It is a recommendation by W3C to use PNG and I know the problems with using transparent PNG when viewed in IE. However, I am not using transparancy, so which should I use?
Thanks

Just saved my logo in both PNG and GIF, PNG versions seems to look a little washed out... colour wise.

If your not using a transparency, I'd say use gif. Pings are great, but the file sizes are bigger.

dont you have to hack a workaround in IE to get them to work correctly?

mrdobolina, I had to use the javascript hack to use pngs on a recient site I did. It's a pretty simple function.
On a side note, does anyone know if pngs work in email programs like thunderbird or outlook?

IE 7 on PC has fixed the issues with PNG apparantly

thank God.
Dobalina, here you can see how the javascript png fix works. Pretty simple adjustment.

Remember that PNG8 and PNG24 are ver different, so save to whichever format suits your needs. The first supports binary transparency while the second supports alpha chanels.
