Hi I have a logo designed in Illustrator cc. When I look at the image in the illustrator program, the lettering appears crisp but when I export it as a png, the letters look blurry? Am I missing some important step in the export? The logo needs to be 100px high.

Correct answer Mylenium

Well, several things wrong. Your document is CMYK, which is useless if all you want is a predicatble web logo. The CMYK mode also implies that it's at 300 DPI, which is equally useless as the web runs on (assumed) 72 DPI. And there you have it - upon export your image gets resampled. Change the color mode to RGB and the DPI to 72 for relaible web exports.
