Why would I use PNG?

Uh oh it's not vector based, you're going to get your ass reamed because it's not a true logo if it's not vector based.

PNG is the open-source, patent-free equivalent to GIF and is generally 5%-25% more compressed than the same GIF image. PNG does not however support animation.

I thought GIF's patent ran out awhile back... do all browsers support PNG?

No, GIFs patent has not run out, but all modern browsers do support PNG, to an extent. Some of them don't support it's 8 bit transpaency, and limit you to using simple 1 bit transparency like GIF has. Still, thay support all the features that gif has.

There are some know it all graphic designers on the forums that think if it's not vector based, then it's not a true logo.

All new browsers do, but it'd be false to say all browsers support PNG. So you're pretty safe.

The patent problem doesn't really apply to us, creators of images, but nonetheless it's worth a footnote. "Unisys announced in 1995 that it would require people to pay licensing fees in order to use GIF. This does not mean that anyone who creates or uses a GIF image has to pay for it. Authors writing programs that output GIF images are subject to licensing fees."

GIF vs. PNG demonstrates how GIF's 256 color limit really, er, bites.

Cool. But I'm using IE 6.1 and it can't see the 2nd to last image, which is supposed to have the colored background. Looks like I'll stick with GIF... for now...
