My Image is Blurry after export at 300dpi

Hi there,

I've made a logo for a business and I can't for the life of me get it to look crisp. I've tried a lot of things but it's like the logo and text have a blurry halo.

I'm using the latest Adobe CC. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    Kahuna,

    If you are using it for some screen use, the safest way is to create the artwork at the exact pixel x pixel size for final use, and then to save (as in Save for Web) as the default Image Size, or if you must export at 72 PPI. And for crispness always use PNG24, never JPEG with its inherent (progressive) muddlfying, sorry compression.

    Or, if applicable, you can use SVG to keep it vector.

    For print, keep it vector in a suitable format.

    For both print and screen use, start by saving in vector format and then create a suitable version for screen.

    Please show a screenshot.

    You know that a raster image will never be as crisp as a vector artwork inside Illustrator?

    What quality are you exporting as, and are you blowing it up on export? Are you doing straight export, or save for web export?

    Thanks for the reply Daniel and Monika. So basically this is how I do it. File>Export As>(.JPG). The settings are RGB, 10 Quality Maximum, 300 ppi and art optimised (Supersampling).

    Around the Magenta it looks very blurry. I'm new to this all so I appreciate all the help.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    There is more compression going on there that you'd expect. Are there raster effects around the dots?
