Best format for a logo used in the slide master

[Sam]

Hi there

What is the best type of logo to use in a powerpoint
template. It will appear on every slide so can't be too
big yet needs to be really good quality for printing and
viewing on-screen.

Currently the logos used have been wmf's I think. However
presentations seem to take a long time printing and a long
time pdf'ing, especially one of them which has a blue
background for every slide, however even the one with a
white background seems to take ages.

I can try .eps .jpeg .tiff etc...

I just wondered if anyone had any standard advice on this
before I take forever experimenting with different file
extnsions!

Thanks in advance

WMFs made from graphics that include curves (text and the like) can turn into
monsters that really do slow down the printer something fierce.

EPS might be a good choice, depending on the PowerPoint version and whether you
only need to print to PS printers and Distiller or need to use the result more
universally.

I'd give PNG a shot for starters.
