Most convenient file type to have a logo?
I just made a little logo for a little business I'm starting up. I was wondering what the most convenient format to have a logo is in. I know I will use it on business cards and documents, but I want to have a version of it saved that will be easy to put on anything in any size.
I'm using Illustrator CS5 and have ID and PS CS5 as well.

If you need to use it large, such as for a sign, stick with the ai format (or eps or pdf). These will retain the vector data and allow scaling without loss of quality. These formats may not be as convenient for other uses, eg placing on a letterhead in a Word document though.
Best option is to have the logo saved in a few formats and choose the appropriate one for what you are creating.
Supply the vector format one to printers/signmakers who will have access to the CS software. If you are using InDesign to create layouts/shells for letterheads or any other items (catalogues, promotional/advertising material), also use the vector format logo file - InDesign can place an ai file and this will give you the best quality.
Export your logo as a tif/jpg for other uses. Tif gives a better quality especially in anything that's printed than jpg but is not as versatile. You'll want a jpg or similar format for use on webpages and such.

If it is word document, then you can use pdf file. Best option is to have the logo saved in a few formats and choose the appropriate one for what you are creating. Supply the vector format one to printers/signmakers who will have access to the CS software. Again, there are .jpg or .gif file.gif gives a better quality especially in anything that's printed than jpg but is not as versatile. You'll want a jpg or similar format for use on webpages.
