LOGOS

You may use the following treatments of the 21-Day Equity Challenge logo to create your own promotional communications. We are including links to:

• .PNG files, which are best for on-screen use but are relatively low-resolution (so may look blurry if printed,) and
• .EPS files that can be placed in print documents and other higher-resolution uses. These files can be blown up to larger sizes without using resolution, but may be larger in size and more difficult to work with (contact us or a graphic designer or digital layout specialist if additional assistance is needed.)
