In other words, do like TalentEgg have done and export a much larger version of your logo, and then specify in the CSS of your page what size it should be. TalentEgg’s logo is actually 500 px wide, even though on the page it’s scaled to 128 px in width. | |

And to get the logo in a flexible format that you can use in Word documents and such things, just Save as a PDF file. (Use the Artboard tool to crop the document to just the logo before doing both, of course.) | |

| Sep 20, 2015 at 16:38 | comment | added | Apane101 | @JanusBahsJacquet Hey, I've remade the logo and updated the post. However, when I add it to photoshop it looks pixelated too. How should I export it from Illustrator so that it looks crisp? | |

| Sep 20, 2015 at 13:42 | comment | added | Apane101 | @JanusBahsJacquet Super helpful! I've nearly got it, I'm making the vortex however, I'm having trouble erasing the openings of the circles to make it a vortex. When using the Eraser tool, when I erase a section it is just bends the shape, and doesn't erase it? | |

| Sep 20, 2015 at 12:04 | comment | added | Janus Bahs Jacquet | That's what I would do, yes. The little vortex icon should be relatively easy to draw as a vector shape in Illustrator, and the text is of course just text. | |
| Sep 20, 2015 at 11:59 | comment | added | Apane101 | Cheers, @JanusBahsJacquet Yes, I have adobe illustrator. I can try remaking it there? What do I render it as? | |
| Sep 20, 2015 at 11:56 | comment | added | Janus Bahs Jacquet | Do you have Illustrator too? That would be a much better tool to use for a logo like that: you'd have it as vector graphics, for much easier use in various other applications. Is your logo this pixellated in Photoshop as well? That could indicate that you've set your anti-aliasing too soft. | |
