1. Logo’s should always consist of vector art, since logos will just about  
always be used for print and adjusted to various sizes.

2. If you _must_ use raster text, save at 1200ppi. That means you must also  
start at 1200 ppi.

3. You will require a clipping path to make the background of the image  
transparent.

4. What you see on screen is of no consequence, since screen resolution is  
much less.
