The logo is approved, but the project is not quite finished. Your client still needs to know which file belongs on a website, which version has a transparent background, and what to send to a printer.

A good logo handoff answers those questions before they become a string of follow-up messages. Deliver a small, clearly labeled package with the files the client actually needs and a short guide to using them.

Confirm what was approved

Check the final wording, symbol, colors, and layout against the client's approval. Make sure the files you are about to send all use that version. An older PNG can look familiar enough to slip into the folder unnoticed.

If the artwork was traced from a PNG, review the SVG's lettering and small details as part of that approval. Tracing interprets shapes; it does not automatically recreate the original typeface or recover a missing stroke. The SVG inspection and export guide can help you examine the master before it leaves your desk.

Keep any alternative concepts outside the delivery package unless the client asked for them. A handoff should identify the chosen design clearly.

Include files with specific purposes

A reviewed SVG can provide editable vector shapes for resizing and adaptation. PNG copies can serve destinations that require raster images or do not accept SVG. Choose their dimensions for known uses rather than exporting a dozen arbitrary sizes.

If you agreed to provide light-background, dark-background, or single-color versions, label each one. Do not create new variants at the last moment without checking that the design still works and that the client expects them.

An SVG is not automatically a prepared embroidery file, a print-ready PDF, or a cutting file. If a production provider requests another format, prepare that delivery version against its specifications. Explain the difference rather than promising the master is ready for every machine.

Add a short file guide

Create a simple text or PDF guide listing the file names and their intended uses. For example, a fictional company called Meadow Studio might receive these notes:

Include the approved color references you actually used and identify what those values describe. A screen color reference is useful information, but it is not a guarantee of an exact match on every material or printer.

Add a version or delivery date so the recipient can distinguish this package from earlier drafts. The product file workflow offers a simple folder structure you can adapt.

Explain text and font needs accurately

Traced lettering is made of paths. It can be edited as shapes, but it is not live text that the client can rewrite with a text cursor. Say so if future wording changes are likely.

If you also deliver a source project with editable fonts, identify the fonts and check their licensing terms. Do not automatically put the font files in the delivery folder. Adobe's font packaging guidance explains why sharing artwork and sharing font software are different permissions. Other font suppliers have their own terms.

Document any relevant third-party asset restrictions as well. Converting a graphic to another format does not create new rights to use it.

Test the package as the recipient will receive it

Copy the delivery files into a fresh folder, then open them from there. Check that the artwork appears correctly without depending on a linked file elsewhere on your computer. Inspect PNG transparency and confirm that each file matches its description.

If PNG2Vector is part of the workflow, remember that free downloads are watermarked PNG previews. An active paid membership unlocks watermark free SVG exports. Signing in alone does not remove watermarks. Deliver the approved export rather than an inspection preview.

Finally, send one clearly identified package and retain a backup of the approved master and delivery notes. The useful measure of a handoff is simple: your client can choose the right file without guessing.
