Hi, I'm having an issue with our logo being pixelated.It looks OK at 100%, but if i zoom out to say like 66% or lower it looks pixelated. And it doest matter what size I export it too, it always look pixelated. I dont know what I'm doing wrong here... You can see it on the "W" that it is some unevenness around the letter.

I also don't see any pixelization when the logo is reduced. If you have GPU Performance turned on in your Illustrator preferences, try turning that off (this feature often makes objects look "pixelly"). If this doesn't work then try viewing on another computer.

Keep in mind though, that PNG is a raster format and it will look pixelated as you enlarge it. Reducing it should be no problem, however.

    I don't see anything unusual there.

    I forgot to add to the post that I want to use the file in Premiere Pro or After Effects, and when I do so, they "W" and "Y" get pixelated. And just when i started to write this I realized that the project I was working with in After Effects had the wrong width and height... when i changed it to 1920 x 1080 it looked fine.

    Why do you export a raster image for After Effects/Premiere?

    You can place your AI file in both.

    You need to turn on "rasterize continually" in order for the file to be of highest quality.
