Creating a small logo for a facebook ad

[OL9]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a real simple logo for a facebook ad for our local shop, it has to be 110 x 80 and I'm encountering problems when scaling. My logo is only a black background with 2 lines of text (Helvetica) in red & white, when I load it to FB it looks awful.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Stuart

Would you please post the image you have to this point so we can see it?

I'm slightly embarresed because its not even a logo, but my thinking was 'less is more'

The image below is a copy of the picture from facebook


and this is a screen grab of what it actually looks like on FB

I loaded a photo up to check and it retained the sharpness when scaled down.

Hi OL9

- I think it could be the resolution, when creating the document you may have set you document resolution too low.
- try saving for web and devices, choose jpg, setting high quality and optimized.
- if that doesn't work, try creating your graphic once more, but this time when using the type tool make sure, that you set the anti aliasing method to crisp or sharp.

Hi Hoogleman, its for a Facebook "sponsored ad" at the Right hand side of the page.

then make the picture bigger than the specifications and when you upload it to facebook it will resize it automatically
