Graphic Industry Standards.

Tiff, JPG, and BMP graphics, are bitmap image formats, comprised of individual dots of color, generally used to display images on a computer screen. Usually only a couple of inches in size. Enlarging a bitmap image to the size required to apply to an On Deck Circle simply enlarges the individual dots of color. The result is bigger, chunkier dots, with no additional detail and gives poor results.
Vector format images are mathematically defined images comprised of lines, curves, colored regions, text, etc.
Vector Images can be scaled to any resolution or size without loss of quality, giving the image on your On Deck Circle clean sharp detail.

Note:
 Bitmap images imported into graphic programs and saved in an EPS file DOES NOT create a vector format file.
