EXPORT HELP

So I created a logo on illustrator for my boats design logo and I was told to use vector file so I created it in illustrator with some help from my wife. The reason I wanted to do it with vector is because I need to make tiny stickers with it and also blow it up to about a 3 foot x 3 foot sticker. I am very happy with the logo. I think it looks good! I of course, am all finished and then run into the problem of exporting and saving. When I tried to export it to press quality PDF it says

 

“ the documents transparency space doesn’t match the destination color space shown in the output panel to avoid color appearance changes in the PDF click cancel and choose a destination color space that matches the document color space or click OK to continue with current settings”

 

MY GOAL is to send the logo to a commercial printing company. So what I did is went to output settings, and changed the destination from default CMYK to RGB (because I looked up best destination for press printing on google) and saved it. I also did a different save where I just said screw it and clicked OK to save it as CMYK to see the difference. I don’t think I see any difference in the two. 

 

I just don’t want to send the wrong file to the printing company and waste a bunch of money when it comes out the wrong color or something.

 

I also saved both of the files with compatibility acrobat 5 I hope that is OK.

 

Thanks for any help!

 

I attached the two files below

The one important question is: what are the specifications that the printing company gave you? ANd then you have to make what they want.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
