The two primary colors for the Verisys Registrars^® are blue and grey.

The use of color is a powerful way to give our communications a distinctive look. Color can also help set an overall tone or mood. Our key audiences should be able to recognize Verisys Registrars^® by its colors – not just the colors of our logo, but also those we use throughout our communications portfolio. To help people recognize and remember our communications, we’ve kept the palette simple.

Image Extension Definitions

JPEG or JPG − Joint Photographic Experts Group

JPEG is a standards committee that designed an image compression format. The compression format they designed is known as a lossy compression, in that it deletes information from an image that it considers unnecessary. JPEG files can range from small amounts of lossless compression to large amounts of lossy compression. This is a common standard on the WWW, but the data loss generated in its compression make it undesirable for printing purposes.

GIF − Graphic Interchange Format

Yet another image format type generated specifically for computer use. Its resolution is usually very low (72 dpi, or that of your computer screen), making it undesirable for printing purposes.

EPS − Encapsulated PostScript

A computer file standard set by Adobe for printers which is the mathematical definition of shapes, lines, color and space. This is one of the most accurate ways to define a font or image.

Additional Image Information

DPI − Dots Per Inch

Number of dots a printer or device (like a monitor) can display per linear inch. For example, most laser printers have a resolution of 600 dpi, most monitors 72 dpi, most PostScript imagesetters 1200 to 2450 dpi. Photo quality inkjet printers now range from 1200 to 2400 dpi.

CMYK − C=Cyan, M=Magenta, Y=Yellow, K=Black

Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black; These are the printer colors used to create color prints. Most Color Printers, Ink-Jet, Laser, Dye-Sublimation, Thermal, and Crayon printers use these as their printer colors. (This is one of the color management problems for computers. Converting RGB files to CMYK files cause's color shifts.) When used by a printer the CMYK is also known as a reflective color since it is printed on paper, or reflective films.

RGB − Red-Green-Blue

Stands for the colors Red-Green-Blue. In web design and design for computer monitors, colors are defined in terms of a combination of these three colors. For example, the RGB abbreviation for the color blue shown below is 0-0-255. In contrast, print designers typically define colors using CMYK.

Vector Graphic Images

Vector graphics is a mathematical means of representing pictures by drawing lines and shapes in relationship to designated coordinates. The saved file contains instructions for drawing the image, which can be enlarged or reduced without losing quality. EPS, SVG and DXF files are examples of vector graphics.

ZIP Compression

A type of file compression that decreases the total size of a file and allow larger amounts of data to be transferred in fewer bytes.
