125th Anniversary Logos

Instructions

This page offers the 125th Anniversary logo in several different formats, and your choice of format will depend on the use you have in mind.

Bitmap formats (including .jpg and .bmp extensions) use hundreds or thousands of pixels to create an image, are recommended for use in posting material on We bsites, and for use in council newsletters or similar applications.

 They can be reduced in size without a change in image quality, but they cannot be enlarged to any significant degree because the result will be “pixelated,” with ragged edges and poor resolution.

Vector formats use mathematical formulas to describe the image, and are said to be “scalable,” because they can be enlarged without any adverse impact on quality.

 On this page, we offer the anniversary logo in .eps format, and while such files are not strictly speaking vector files, they describe a vector image. An .eps file is actually a program that describes an image, and like pure vector files, is scalable.  These files are for more advanced users, though, because they require advanced graphics programs that are able to open and use them.

JPG File

Click on the .jpg link and the image will open. Right click your mouse and save to your desktop. The .jpg file may be imported into Word, Powerpoint or other documents.

BMP Files

Click on the .bmp link and the image will open. Right click your mouse and save to your desktop. 

EPS Files

The Encapsulated Postscript (.eps) file is available for all high-quality printing. EPS files use a vector format and can be scaled up or down without loss of quality.

EPS files require applications such as Photoshop, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, Pagemaker, InDesign or Microsoft Publisher. From this application, open, import, or place the .eps graphics file as needed.

Some computer operating systems will add a .ps (postscript file) extension when downloading or opening .eps files from the Web. This may affect the way photo editing applications view the file. If you encounter this problem, please follow the instructions below when downloading EPS images.

1. Select .eps link you wish, four color (CMYK), for print, three-color (RGB) for Web use, or black and white, and click on it.

2. When pop-up box appears, click on “Save This File to Disk” and then click on “OK.”

3. When second pop-up window appears, select the drive or desktop you want to save the image to.

4. In the “Save As” box, check to see if  “.eps” appears after the image name. If it doesn’t, add .eps to the name (example, akro_bin.eps). If the computer accidentally adds a “.ps” to the end of the image name, erase it.

5. Click on “Save” to save image to drive.
