The previous page, notes to designers says this will proceed directly to print. What does that mean? I have not made any plans until I get the design I want.
Also, the brief says the designer will decide what format the logo will be sent in. I need a format that can be used for t-shirts, or cards, or any other thing I want my logo on.
Thank you.

For that you need the vector format

Thank you for letting me know it is the vector format I need. Am I correct in thinking this is a format that many designers will use in response to my post?

Yess vector is the only format that never get pix-elated

Hello Good day!
Please give me some feedback :)
Thank you.

Hello, I have begun receiving some designs, thank you very much. I will be traveling for the next three days and will not be able to get back with you until after that. I appreciate your efforts and will offer feedback when I am able after the next 3 days.

Hi, this has been an interesting project, thank you for the opportunity! I realize you recently became owner, how do you feel about including an "established" in the logo design? EST 1997 (as an example).

Hello, and thank you very much for your interest. Do you know, I had not even thought about your idea until I read your question! I shall have to give that some thought. Do you have ideas that you can share with me that would be beneficial to have that? I have seen it many places on other businesses. Thank you.

Hello, I've uploaded a logo design with "est" included in the design. You'll also find some notes on why you may or may not like to include that sort of detail. Hope it helps!

Okay sir, Looking forward to your feedback soon :)
