Is there any Hints and yips for making a logo nice a crisp for the web/email?
When I bring in the illy file it adds anti-alias to it thus making the dg "furry"
Any idea?

if it is simple enough bring it in as a .gif or .jpg

are you bringing it into photoshop? did you try bringing it in as a smart object?

A large part of my job is making 16x16 icons for software. The best way I've found is even if you've made a large version in Illustrator, you have to start over for the small size in Photoshop.
I create a new doc the size I need it to be, show a 1x1 pixel grid, and draw it pixel by pixel using the pencil tool. You should do any antialiasing by hand as well.

Yes I am copying and pasting from illy to PS. My logo uses a font similar to this and looks as furry as this.
Flemming if you are reading this can you assist as it looks like you know what your doing with your great icon work for M$ http://www.a320.dk/

make the logo the correct size in illy and save as eps. then open the eps in pshop, and copy and paste onto where you need. As soon as you start resizing in pshop, the anti-aliasing may get fuzzy as youre getting.

Yeah I realise this but it still makes the text fuzzy due to anti Aliasing when I uncheck in the opening window it looks Shite/bitmappy.
Any way i suppose I will make do.
Cheers anyway

make all text and letter forms outlines (vectors) prior to scaling. this will ensure the forms stay sharp.
