Logos- They are the worst!

When you want to put the logo of your organization on your research poster, you will need a hi resolution (hi-rez to those of us in the trade) logo. Something captured off the internet will usually be pretty choppy when printed on a poster.

Where to get one? Usually the public relations or marketing people in your organization will have one. Try the people who design printed materials, or who do events. A good quality jpg works well in PowerPoint. EPS files from a PC will be OK, from a Mac probably not. We have an extensive library of hi-rez logos from most of the universities in the country, and we can send you one if we have it.

To put your logo into your poster, do insert-picture-from file and browse to your hi-rez logo. It will go into the center of your poster, so you may need to zoom out to see it. There are a lot of other tips and tricks to setting up your poster, both on our site's FAQ's and in the materials and methods section of our templates.
